Notes

Use stale French bread for the recipe, as it will absorb the custard mixture better.
If you have leftover custard mixture, you can soak additional slices of bread to use up the liquid.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
