Dry out the bread

If your bread isn’t stale yet, lay it out on a baking sheet overnight to dry or bake it for 10 minutes in a 250°F oven until stiff. Using stale or dried bread will help it soak up the custard while avoiding soggy French toast.

Fry the toast

Bring a nonstick skillet to medium-low heat and brush with a light coating of butter or coconut oil. Remove each slice of bread from the soaking dish, letting any excess custard mixture drip back into the dish. Cook each slice for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned. Cover the pan between flipping to help the toast cook through fully. Transfer each cooked slice to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
