FODMAP Notes
Use certified gluten-free bread without high-FODMAP ingredients like honey, apple, or inulin. Lactose-free milk keeps this FODMAP-friendly. Slightly stale bread absorbs the custard better without falling apart.
Tips
- 💡 Use day-old bread for best results
- 💡 Don't soak bread too long or it will fall apart
- 💡 Keep cooked toast warm in a low oven
- 💡 Top with sliced strawberries or blueberries
Recipe Notes
This classic French toast proves you don’t need gluten to achieve golden perfection. The key is using slightly stale bread that can soak up the custard without becoming soggy.
