— Soak the bread for just long enough: too long and it will get soggy and disintegrate, too short and the milk and egg mixture won’t penetrate to the center of the bread, offering that custardy texture in the middle.— Use moderate heat: too high and the bread will burn on the outside, too low and it won’t get that nicely browned crusty exterior.— Preheat the pan.
