Notes
- Day-old or slightly stale bread works best—it soaks up the custard without getting soggy.
- Don’t skip buttering the griddle for those delicious crispy edges.
- Want it dairy-free? Use almond, oat, or soy milk and plant-based butter.
- Freeze extras between parchment paper for a quick breakfast later.
- Great for camping or patio brunches!
