Vietnamese Coffee French Toast
This version of French toast uses a Vietnamese coffee custard as its soaking base, infusing thick-cut toasted bread with rich coffee flavor and a touch of sweetness from condensed milk. Pan-fried in butter until golden on each side, the toast develops a crisp exterior while remaining tender inside. Finished with a drizzle of condensed milk, it makes a flavorful breakfast or brunch treat that combines fragrant coffee notes with the satisfying texture of classic French toast.
