This sweet and sophisticated recipe uses milk bread, Japanese thick-cut white bread, which is soaked in a lovely spiced egg mixture and left to sit for several hours to allow the egg mixture to be totally absorbed. It’s cooked in butter and the outside of the toast is crunchy and sweet, while the inside has the consistency of custard.
The adults in my house normally top the French Toast off with some powdered sugar, and my daughter loads it up with maple syrup. When served with fresh fruit and coffee, it makes a satisfying and delicious Sunday brunch meal that will bring your family together over and over again.
