For a richer, more decadent version, use brioche, challah, or pav (Indian bread rolls) sliced in half.

Thick-cut, sturdy bread like white sandwich bread, brioche, or challah works best. It's important that the bread is slightly stale or day-old, as this helps it absorb the custard without becoming mushy.
The key is to not oversoak the bread. A quick dip of about 10 seconds per side is sufficient. Also, ensure your pan is preheated to the correct medium-low temperature before adding the toast. Cooking it too slowly on low heat can make it steam and become soggy.

Yes, you can whisk together the egg custard mixture and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good whisk again before you start dipping the bread.
