How to Avoid Making Soggy French Toast

There’s nothing quite like the smell of French toast in the morning. Nothing is more frustrating than taking a bite of soggy French toast. Here are a few tricks for cooking your French toast to perfection.

Place on a Rack to Warm: Immediately after removing your French toast from the pan, serve instantly or place it on a rack and into the oven to keep warm.

Do not sit the french toast on a plate, and let it sit as you continue to cook as it will create moisture, causing your french toast to become soggy.

*If you prefer french toast that is very toasty, you can place the french toast into a preheated 350-degree oven for a few minutes.

Avoid Over-Soaking: Be careful not to soak your bread in the custard for too long. Consider the thickness and density of the type of bread you are using. In most cases, you will only need to dip the bread in the custard to coat the bread, only for a second or two.

Heat Pan Properly: French toast will be soggy if you fail to use the proper heat. If you cook your French toast on too high heat, you may fry the outside of the toast too fast, leaving the inside of the French toast undone. To avoid this mistake, preheat your pan to medium-low heat.

Simple French Toast Ingredients


You only need a few simple ingredients to make the perfect French toast.

French Toast Bread: Brioche is my favorite bread to use for making French toast. You can also use French Baguette or Challah (egg bread). Brioche, French Baguette, and Challah Bread should all be easily found in the bakery section of your local grocery store.

French Toast Custard: To make the custard for this simple French toast, you will need eggs, heavy cream, pure vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon. That’s all.
