**RECIPE**
thick sliced bread, brioche or challah are particularly good
eggs (one for every 2-4 pieces, depending on how custardy you want them)
cream (roughly equal quantity with the eggs, plus more for whipping if you want)
sugar (maybe a teaspoon per egg)
salt (one little pinch per egg)
vanilla (eyeball a splash)
cinnamon (eyeball it, if you want it)
clarified butter or regular butter (1 stick, 113g will cook 4-6 pieces once you clarify it yourself)
panko or cornflake crumbs (maybe 1/4 cup, 40g per slice)
berries, maple syrup, any other accoutrements
Dry the bread slices by either leaving them spread out overnight, or toast them with low heat. I lay them on the rack of my oven and then get it heating to 350ºF/180ºC since I'll need the oven hot later anyway. If you've used the oven or a toaster to dry your bread, let the slices cool down and steam off.
If you need to clarify your butter, put it in a narrow pot, turn the heat on low enough that it gently melts the butter and boils off the water before the milk solids start fizzing and turning golden brown - this takes 10 minutes for one stick of butter on my stove. Strain the butter and discard the milk solids.
Combine the eggs, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla and cinnamon and beat it all smooth. Pour the resulting custard into a cake pan or some other wide vessel for dipping the bread.
Spread the crumbs onto a plate. If I'm using panko, I like to use my hands to grind it down into a slightly finer texture.
Heat a film of the clarified butter in a pan over moderate heat.
Dip your first batch of bread slices into custard and let them sit and absorb as much as you want them to absorb. You could just do a quick dip if you want them to still be like toast on the inside, or your could soak them for several minutes if you want them to be custardy all the way through. I like to soak them until I can feel them going soft but the core of the slice is still dry.
Dip the wet slices into the crumbs on both sides, then fry the slices gently until golden brown on both sides. Don't worry about cooking the interior. Remove the slices to a cooling rack, wipe out the pan and repeat until you've browned all your slices.
Transfer your slices to the hot oven and bake until the insides feel cooked and the outsides are crispy again, 5-10 minutes. Top with whipped cream, berries, maple syrup, etc.

    As someone who doesn’t like things too sweet, I like putting a little sugar/honey/syrup whatever on the top of the bread while it’s cooking then flip that onto the pan so it carmelizes directly (as opposed to putting more sugar directly in the custard).

    Alternatively, you could absolutely completely skip the sugar and cinnamon and top it with some sour cream, some caviar (absolutely doesn't need to be the most expensive kind) and some finely chopped red onions. I usually do this with waffles but I've also done it with french toast and I think it's really delicious.

    The nuance of the super long soak (my personal favorite) is that it bakes longer in the oven and puffs up way more. Essentially, it's a bread soufflé. The thicker the slice, the more pronounced the contrast between exterior and interior. The downside is that, like all soufflés, it has a short half-life and turns dense when it deflates and cools, making it bad for leftovers. Chef John's baked French toast video is a great primer on this if it sounds like your thing.

    But, but, heterogeneity!!! I'm with you, though. I wouldn't like it toasted stiff. I love the custard interior, it's the reason I make it. I often do a savory version, too, nice for a comfort food supper, with herbed butter or whipped creamy cheese topping. It can also be turned into a weird omelet - break up into 1" pieces and soak them while you cut up an avocado to match, stir it all together, pour it into a hot buttered pan, and top with grated cheese, or bake in buttered muffin tins for a crowd. This version is a nice way to use the heels from various whole grain breads that I toss into the freezer for the purpose (though it actually works fine if they become totally dried out and live in a jar, just soak them longer).

    We can buy sticks of clarified butter (not browned like Ghee) in the supermarket here in Germany. It's fairly heat stable so it works great for shallow frying virtually anything and it takes forever to spoil when you keep it stored in the fridge. It's usually not much more expensive than a regular stick of butter, too. I recommend keeping some of it around in your fridge, it's quity handy for quickly frying something with buttery aroma.

    I've tried Ghee a couple of times, I think just from Trader Joe's, and while I love Indian food I found an off-putting, "stale?" aroma in it which turned me off. Maybe it is this "browning" of Ghee that disagrees with me... I was not aware of the difference. Good to know there may be other forms of clarified butter out there (in US stores?)...that I may be able to try. The concept of clarified butter for frying all sorts of things makes sense -- I've just never bothered doing it at home.

    If you whisk the cinnamon into the eggs first, in my experience, it seems to get stuck in the beaten egg and then, when you add the milk and vanilla, it doesn't float and stays more evenly distributed throughout the custard. Not sure if it matters, but that's what I observed.

    I made French Toast just a few hours ago! It was not crispy, I never try to go for "crispyness", but I'll try that next time. Elsewise, my recipe is the same as you, except I use baguette slices (I'm in France, baguette is pretty great here), and it makes for more bite-size portions. The crispyness of the baguette crust and softness of the core is what I like, with a soak for a few minutes. Since the outside crust acts like a ring holding the slices in shape, a long soak is ok, especially if I cook on low. I'll try the panko next time!

This way it just seems to distribute better across the whole custard when you then add the cream. Much better than when you add it to the cream and it ends up floating up! Although this could well be placebo, but my own tests have lead me to begin following this. :)

    Tried this for the first time today after craving some good breakfast food and all my typical spots being closed. I picked up a fresh loaf of French Bread from a local bakery because they didn't have brioche. This definitely exceeded my expectations! The crunch from the panko is a great texture addition for a comparative low amount of effort. I'll make this again!

    Looking back french-toast's "custard" has the same ingredients as for making crepes and bread-pudding, or clafoutis. The amount, or the omission of: egg, milk, sugar, or flour varies per recipe but can be used to make any of the dishes.

    Here in Spain we have something similar called Torrijas (Spanish toast?), which you soak in milk before coating in the egg mixture, and serve with cinnamon on top. Theres even a kind of bread specifically made for torrijas which is very 'spongy' to absorb as much milk as possible (although you can use any bread, even baguette). I assume torrijas bread has a similar consistency to brioche.
