Instructions

- Prepare bread:
- Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well, leaving a border around the edges.

- Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the custard is just set and the bread edges are golden.
