Chef's Note
For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of milk. If brioche isn't available, challah or thick-cut white bread works well too. The key to perfect french toast is allowing the bread to soak up enough egg mixture without becoming soggy. Day-old bread actually works better as it absorbs more of the custard mixture.
