Leftover cold pizza can be rejuvenated by soaking slices in French toast batter before frying. This method results in a soft, pillowy pizza with a crispy, eggy exterior, perfect for preserving the gooey toppings. The key lies in allowing the pizza to soak just long enough without becoming soggy and cooking it on medium heat so the center warms properly. By adding herbs and spices to enhance the batter's flavor, you can elevate the overall taste and experience of leftover pizza to new heights.
The key to French toasting your pizza is to give your slices just enough time to soak up the batter without becoming soggy.
Dunking a stale pizza in an eggy batter provides a dry crust with heaps of much-needed moisture; it almost plumps it up, similar to day-old croissants.
The result? Pizza that has a soft, almost-cushiony texture and uber-savory quality with piping-hot toppings.
You could make a simple savory French toast batter using eggs, milk, and salt, but why miss the opportunity to maximize flavor?
