Best French Toast Tips
- always heat the griddle first for the best results
- use butter or olive oil to fry the toast in
- do not over-soak the bread or it will be a soggy mess
- for sweeter-tasting French toast add a teaspoon of sugar
- always use thickly cut bread and the best result is slicing from a whole loaf of Italian bread never use American bread
- try using melted Tiramisu ice cream in place of heavy cream or another melted ice cream
