Notes
- Don't soak the brioche in the custard. The bread will fall apart if you do more than just dip it.
- For best results, only flip the French toast once at the halfway mark.
- It's ready to flip when it easily pulls away from the skillet.
- Grease the skillet in between each batch with more butter.
