Use Brioche or Challah Swap regular bread for brioche, challah, or sourdough for a richer, more indulgent texture.
Add Heavy Cream to the Batter Replace some milk with heavy cream for a creamier, more custard-like consistency.
Infuse with Cinnamon & Nutmeg A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom adds warmth and depth of flavor.
Stuff It with Filling Try cream cheese, Nutella, peanut butter, or fruit preserves between two slices before dipping.
Make it Caramelized Sprinkle sugar on the bread before cooking for a crisp, caramelized crust.
Use Flavored Extracts A dash of vanilla, almond, or coconut extract enhances the custard’s flavor.
Drizzle with Flavored Syrups Swap traditional syrup for honey, caramel, fruit compote, or maple butter.
