- • Shaping without trapping air pockets
- • Baking with lid then uncovering for crust development
- • Staling the bread to the correct dryness
- • Soaking the toast just enough to absorb custard without becoming mush
- • Creating a uniform butter‑brown‑sugar layer for the brûlée
Safety Warnings
- • Handle hot pans and oven with oven mitts to avoid burns.
- • Raw egg yolks carry a risk of salmonella; use pasteurized eggs if concerned.
