    Tips

    • Preheat the skillet on low-medium heat to avoid burning the french toast slices.
    • Use a non-stick skillet to ensure that the french toast doesn't stick and burns evenly.
    • Soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture for about 5 seconds for maximum flavor infusion.
    • Add butter or oil to your heated skillet before adding bread slices to prevent sticking and add extra flavor during the cooking process.
    • Flip once after 3 minutes and then again at 4 minutes or when golden brown on one side, so as to not overcook on one side while leaving the other side undercooked.
    • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before combining together so they mix more easily.
    • Make sure you have enough eggs/milk in relation to the amount of mango puree used. The ratio should be approximately 3 eggs to ¼ cup milk and 1 mango.
