The Stupid Simple Trick for Better French Toast

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

There are so many great uses for stale bread. Panzanella, the rustic Italian bread salad, is a versatile way to use it up. Another great use for stale bread is to make it the base of a savory or a sweet breakfast casserole. The stale bread works well in these recipes because the moisture in the wet ingredients rehydrates the stale bread. 

One of the quickest, most satisfying, make-you-feel-like-a-kid-again ways to use stale bread is to make French toast. Bread dipped in an egg-milk mixture and fried on a griddle in butter is a delicious breakfast or brunch and an excellent vehicle for maple syrup, cinnamon and sugar, blueberry compote, or whipped cream. 

If you want French toast, but all your bread is fresh, there’s a hack on TikTok that claims to turn fresh bread into a better vehicle for dipping into the egg-milk mixture (also called custard), and you almost certainly have what you need in your kitchen for this simple trick.
