tips and tricks

1. The drier the bread, the better. That way it will be custard but not soggy. It also has a nice crunchy texture on the outside. If you have fresh bread on hand, put the slices in the oven for about 15 minutes to let him ripen a bit at 300°F/150°C.
2. Leave a border around the cream cheese filling on plain dry bread before frying so the stuffed French toast doesn’t ooze out.
3. Make sure the pan is hot enough before putting the French toast in the pan. However, it’s not too hot so the butter doesn’t burn, and stuffed French he toast can cook quickly on the outside without warming the inside. I like medium.
