I am an absolute sucker for eggy bread; I can’t go past it on any menu. My most memorable was in San Francisco: the city is French toast heaven with its unbelievable artisan breads and winning toppings.
We use chunky ciabatta bread and soak it overnight, meaning that it’s eggy and moist right to the middle. Depending on the how thick your bread is, you can keep a tub in the fridge for up to three days.
