Tips

• Use day-old bread for better texture.
• Ensure your skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the outside before the inside is cooked.
• For a fancier touch, serve with a side of raspberry preserves.
• Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning; medium is usually just right.

Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to maintain crispiness.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a side of tangy coleslaw.
• Pair with a bowl of creamy tomato soup.
• Add a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
• Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with honey for a dessert-like treat.
