Mochi French Toast Recipe Tips:
Use fresh and soft bread: Milk bread works best but you can also use brioche. Choose thick slices of milk bread, brioche, or challah. Fresh bread will yield a better texture and absorb the flavors more evenly.
Try to use the mochi warm: Once the mochi mixture is microwaved, give it a few minutes to cool down, but don’t let it get too cold! If it becomes difficult, microwave for a few more seconds to soften up.
Dip the completed french toast pieces quickly: When dipping the “french toast sandwich” in the egg batter, do it swiftly to prevent it from becoming too soft and falling apart. A quick dip is enough to coat it evenly.
Use a non-stick skillet or griddle: To ensure that the French toast doesn’t stick and cooks evenly, use a non-stick skillet or griddle. If needed, you can add a little butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Cook over medium heat: Cooking the Mochi French Toast over medium heat will allow it to cook through without burning the exterior. It will give you a crispy and golden brown result.
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Cook the French toast in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will ensure even cooking and browning.
Be gentle when flipping: When flipping the French toast, be gentle to avoid damaging the mochi layer. Use a spatula to carefully lift and turn it over.
Customize the fillings: Experiment with different fillings such as peanut butter, coconut cream, or even Nutella to add your own personal touch and flavour profile to the Mochi French Toast.
Serve immediately: Mochi French Toast is best enjoyed when served immediately after cooking. The combination of warm French toast, creamy filling, and cold ice cream is THE BEST.
