Ingredients in French Toast
French toast is a great way to use up day-old bread. In fact, some bread makes better French toast than others. If you have some old cinnamon raisin bread, Challah, or perhaps even some Texas Toast, you are in business to make French Toast.
Essentially old bread (old does not mean moldy, don’t eat moldy bread), is dipped into an egg batter and the bread is cooked with butter in a skillet or in a pan. This batter turns into a lovely concoction of eggy bread that you can serve with almost anything.

Why is my French toast soggy
There can be two reasons that French toast is soggy. It could have soaked up too much of the egg batter, and it is undercooked, it may remain soggy, after cooking. You should not allow the bread to soak in the egg batter for too long. So to stop this, you need to place the bread into the egg batter press it down lightly and then flip it over and then place it into the skillet. You should take care to cook to cook the bread until it is firm.
