Spread about 2 tablespoons of filling on a slice of bread, leaving roughly a ½ inch border around the edges. Top with another piece of bread and gently press to secure. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.

Transfer the custard soaked bread to the hot pan (you should be able to fit two in the pan at once, if not, cook one at a time) and slowly cook until golden brown and crisp, about ⏱️ 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional ⏱️ 3-4 minutes on the other side. Be sure to keep the heat at a relatively low temperature to avoid burning.
