Toppings and Serving Ideas
French toast is delicious plain but truly shines with toppings. Popular options include:

Whipped cream or mascarpone: Adds richness
Nuts: Toasted almonds, pecans, or walnuts for crunch
Sauces: Chocolate, caramel, or fruit compote
Savory toppings: Cheese, avocado, or smoked salmon
Experimenting with combinations lets you create endless variations to suit every taste.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Even seasoned cooks can make mistakes with French toast. Here’s how to avoid the most common pitfalls:
Soggy French toast: Use slightly stale bread and don’t over-soak.
Burnt edges: Cook over medium heat; use butter and oil for even browning.
Flat flavor: Don’t skip vanilla, cinnamon, or a pinch of salt—it balances sweetness.
Falling apart: Thick slices of bread help maintain structure, especially for stuffed French toast.
Making French Toast Ahead
For busy mornings, French toast can be prepared in advance:
Overnight method: Arrange custard-soaked bread in a baking dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake in the morning.
Freezing cooked toast: Cook, cool, and freeze slices. Reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
