How to Make Custard Toast: A Comprehensive Guide

Custard toast, a beloved comfort food, combines soft, fluffy bread with a rich, creamy custard center. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to achieve perfection at home.

Ingredients:

- 2 thick slices of milk bread (or brioche)

- 200ml whole milk

- 2 large eggs

- 30g sugar (adjust to taste)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- A pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Prepare the custard: Whisk eggs, sugar, and salt until pale. Gradually add warm milk and vanilla extract, mixing well. Strain through a sieve for a smooth texture.

2. Soak the bread: Trim the crusts off the bread (optional). Submerge each slice in the custard mixture, ensuring it’s fully soaked but not soggy. Let it rest for 2 minutes.

3. Cook the toast: Heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Add a small pat of butter. Place the soaked bread in the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and the custard sets slightly.

4. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with honey, or pair with fresh berries.

Tips:

- Use thick-cut bread to prevent tearing.

- Low heat ensures the custard cooks without burning.

- For extra richness, add a tablespoon of heavy cream to the custard.

Enjoy this warm, decadent treat for breakfast or dessert!
