HOW TO MAKE BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST
The Custard: prepare the custard by mixing eggs, custard powder, sugar, milk, cinnamon and vanilla.
The Bread: use thick slices of brioche, challah or texas bread slices. Use slightly stale bread for best result. The key point is to use thick slices of bread.
Soaking: soak the bread on both sides in the custard for at least 5 mins. So the bread absorbs the custard really well.
Butter: make sure you cook french toast in plenty of butter. butter makes everything better.
Cook low and slow: cook the french toast low and slow so it gets cooked in the center properly.
Finishing in Oven: always finish cooking your french toast in oven. this way the french toast cooks from inside and outside.

- If you don’t have thick cut bread slices. Use two bread slices together and dip them in the custard and cook. This makes the bread stick together and create a thick slice of bread.
