For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the bread from becoming soggy. Adjust the sweetness of the custard to your preference by adding more or less sugar. For a visual appeal, use a stencil to create a decorative pattern with the confectioners' sugar.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, 3 tablespoons of milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. (2 minutes)
02
StepHeat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. (5 minutes)
03
StepDip 4 slices of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining bread slices. Place fried toasts on a wire rack to drain excess oil. (15 minutes)
04
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of milk with the custard powder until smooth, creating a slurry. In a separate small saucepan, bring the remaining milk to a gentle boil. Gradually whisk the custard slurry into the boiling milk. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens to your liking. (5 minutes)
05
StepArrange 8 bread toasts on a serving tray. Spoon the custard evenly over each piece. Top with the remaining 8 toasts to form sandwiches. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar. Garnish each sandwich with a dollop of whipped cream and a strawberry half. Secure the strawberry with a decorative toothpick to keep the sandwich intact. (10 minutes)
