It all depends on how you like your Gallic toast .
Gallic toast is a classic breakfast dish — and for good grounds . It ’s made by soaking stale boodle in a commixture of milk , beaten testicle , cinnamon , and bread and then cooking it in a frying pan until it ’s gilded - brown . The results are crispy on the external and custard - the like on the inside . Not to refer , this nostalgic breakfast is even better with a tap of butter and maple sirup on top .

How to Make Toasted French Toast
Just like Sheena demonstrated in her original video , we prepped a clutch of French pledge with the bread toasted before dip it in the nut mixed bag . We also made a batch of our classic French goner using the more traditionalstale cabbage .
For both recipes , we dipped the staff of life in a mixture of milk , testis , vanilla extract , cinnamon , and moolah . Then , we placed it on a butter skillet and cooked it until the Gallic toast was golden - brownish , crisp around the edges , and the egg was set . We cook the pieces side - by - side for the same amount of time to assure a 1:1 comparing .
How We Liked the French Toast Hack
Surprisingly , toasting the bread first made a pretty big divergence in the consistence of the finished Gallic toast . The center of our classic French toast was quite diffuse and custardy , while the center of the toasted French toast was much loyal . Both opus cooked moderately evenly on the outside , but the toasted adaptation was far less wet than the moth-eaten bread .
Some of our taste tester loved the toasted French toast hack , calling it a " game changer " and " texturally way well . " Others thought it was " too firm and too dry . " They missed the custardy center and eggy texture . In short , it all come down to how you like your Gallic goner . If you love the crisp crust around the edges , this is the hack for you . Stick to the classic recipe if you prefer a thick , custardy center .
Either way , you ca n’t go unseasonable starting the day with a scale of buttery French toast . Once you ’ve tried this twirl on the classic , stress whipping uphomemade Gallic goner cubesor material the slices into a richFrench goner casserole .
