Notes

Use day-old bread for better texture. Don't overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month. Reheat in a toaster for best results. For a savory twist, consider topping with avocado or fried eggs. Enjoy experimenting with different bread types and toppings to suit your taste!
