Notes
Recipe inspired by The Recipe Critic.
- You can also use brioche bread or challah instead of French bread in this recipe.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, place the bread slices on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler for a couple of minutes (watch it carefully so the sugar doesn't burn!).
