For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of cream. Experiment with different types of bread to find your favorite texture. Sourdough can add a tangy twist. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can be used in place of granulated sugar. If you prefer a less soggy toast, pour the milk into the bowl first, then place the toast on top for a shorter soaking time.
