Chef's Tips
-
Use thick bread (at least 1 inch) or it will become soggy.
-
Press the well deep enough to hold the custard without it spilling over.
-
Don't overbake or the custard will become rubbery.
-
Try different toppings: Nutella, banana, or even savory versions with cheese and herbs.
-
This is best eaten fresh from the oven.
-
For extra richness, butter the bread before adding the custard.
