French toast is best made with slightly stale, thick-cut bread, which soaks up the egg mixture without falling apart. Brioche or challah make it extra rich.
Cook it over a medium heat so the custard in the middle has time to set before the outside browns. A little butter in the pan gives crisp, golden edges.
