Best Answer

There's 2 aspects about making fluffy french toast:

  1. Bread: Fluffy french toast comes from fluffy bread. Dense breads like brioche and many whole wheats and sourdoughs aren't going to be light no matter what you do. You need a lighter, fluffier bread, a lot of times mass marketed non-artisan breads are the way to go
  2. Dipping: fluffy bread is full of air, and air will get filled up with an egg-milk mix, making your french toast soggy or too eggy. The secret is to use a slightly runny pancake batter rather than a pure egg-milk mix as this keeps the bread from absorbing too much moisture

    French toast goes soggy if you've used too thin, fresh, and flimsy a slice of bread. Other causes are too much milk in the custard, skim milk, and soaking the bread for too long. French toast will also be soggy if it's fried at too high a heat, searing the outside and leaving the center underdone.
