Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F.

  2. In a large baking dish, pour the ice cream.

  3. Add the bread slices into the dish, and turn them to coat them with the ice cream. Let them sit for 3 minutes.

  4. Flip the bread slices and continue to soak them until they are saturated but not soggy, which should take about 3 minutes more.

  5. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

  6. Using tongs, carefully lift 2 bread slices from the custard, allowing any excess to drip back into the dish.

  7. Transfer the bread slices to the skillet, making sure they are in a single layer, and cook them until they turn golden brown and the center of the toast springs back when pressed. This should take about 4 minutes per side.

  8. Transfer the cooked bread slices to a wire rack that is set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Keep them warm in the oven until you are ready to serve.

  9. Repeat the previous step with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining bread slices.

  10. Once all the bread slices are cooked, top them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.

  11. Serve the toasts.
