Cooking techniques

To achieve the best texture, ensure the bread is slightly stale before using, as it will absorb the egg mixture better.

Variations or substitutions

You can use any type of bread, including gluten-free options, and feel free to experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique flavor.

Storage tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast treat!

Notes

For an extra touch, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the bread mixture before baking!
