Notes
How Do You Make Brioche French Toast Not Soggy?
When you dip the bread in the custard, you don’t need to soak it. Just get a nice coating and then allow the excess to drip off before cooking it.
If you soak the bread, your French toast will be soggy. Brioche is very soft and will absorb a lot of the custard if you leave it sit in it.
