The Ultimate French Toast Recipe

This might be the best French toast you’ll ever make at home 🍞✨

Inspired by a technique from Michelin-star chef Hélène Darroze, this version uses a crème anglaise–style custard instead of the usual quick egg mixture — creating an incredibly rich, custardy center with a golden caramelized exterior. It’s the kind of restaurant-quality brunch dish that shows how a small chef technique can completely transform a classic breakfast.

Using soft Japanese milk bread (shokupan) helps the custard soak in perfectly, while slow cooking in butter and finishing with a light caramelization gives it that crisp, brûlée-like crust chefs love. The final result is a gourmet twist on a comfort food classic — the kind of elevated breakfast you’d expect at a high-end brunch spot, but made at home.
