There’s no question that this is the best French toast recipe ever. The caramelized exterior meets a soft custardlike center that practically melts in your mouth. Not only that, but it’s quick and easy, too! —Audrey Rompon, Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

Directions
Using day-old bread from a bakery helps the French toast to be more stable. If you’re using commercially produced brioche, be sure to allow the bread to become slightly stale for best results.
