Creating Pistachio-Crusted Saffron French Toast is incredibly easy when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prep the Saffron: Soak saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of warm milk. Allow it to steep while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Make the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and the saffron-infused milk until well combined.
3. Prepare the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow excess to drip off.
4. Crush the Pistachios: In a separate plate, place the crushed pistachios. Press the coated slices of bread into the pistachios, creating a crust on one side.
5. Cook the French Toast: In a skillet, melt butter or heat oil over medium heat. Place the pistachio-crusted side of the bread down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6. Repeat: Prepare remaining slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
7. Serve Warm: Serve French toast hot, garnished with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
