• Thick Bread – We recommend using thick slices when making the French Toast. This allows for the edges to get crispy without becoming to soggy.
• Half and Half – If you prefer a thick and creamier mixture to dip your bread in, use half and half.
• Skillet – If you don’t have a Blackstone, you can easily make this recipe in a large skillet. Make sure the skillet is hot and has been covered in melted butter to pan fry French toast.
• Single Layer – Make sure to cook the French Toast in a single layer. If you stack then both sides of the French toast do not get cooked.
