Cook soaked bread slices until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
05
Serve with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Use day-old, dried-out bread so it soaks up the custard without falling apart. Let each slice absorb on both sides, then cook over medium so the inside sets before the outside browns too far.”
