This decadent French toast is a delightful twist on the classic breakfast dish. The creamy custard base and caramelized sugar topping create a luxurious and unforgettable experience.
Ingredients:

- Soak bread: Place bread slices in a shallow dish and pour custard mixture over them. Let soak for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
