I Tested 12 Different Ways to Make French Toast - and This Was the Winner!

I've been cooking on YouTube for five years — and I never made a classic French toast recipe. We fixed that. And we didn't just throw something together. We actually tested 12 different ways to make Blackstone French toast to find out what really makes a difference. Four bread types. Fresh vs. dried bread. Different soak times. Custard made ahead. Griddle temperature. And a cinnamon sugar trick that caramelizes right on the flat top and gives you a crispy, crackly crust you're not going to get any other way. We tested it all — and challah won unanimously. This is the best French toast on the griddle we've ever made.
