Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

How do you make French toast, not soggy?

Just dip each side of the croissants, don't let them sit, and soak up the eggs. Also, these croissants are to be cooked in a little butter, not drown in butter. If the croissants are cooking in a lake of butter, they will be soggy.

What goes well with this French toast?

A tall glass of Orange Julius and some delicious breakfast meat like these Low Carb Maple Breakfast Sausage or Oven Baked Bacon!
