# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The custard turns impossibly creamy without any fancy technique or overnight prep
  • It hits that perfect sweet spot between indulgent brunch and wholesome breakfast
  • You can customize the fruit based on whatever's sitting in your fruit bowl
02 -
  • Pressing firm, deep wells really matters—shallow indents cause the custard to spill over the edges while baking
  • Letting the toasts cool for at least 5 minutes helps the custard set properly so it doesn't run when you take a bite
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend together more easily and prevent the custard from separating
  • Pressing the bread wells thoroughly before filling keeps everything contained during baking
