FAQs

What bread is best for French Toast?
Brioche and challah are the top choices – they’re thick, slightly sweet, and soak perfectly without getting soggy.

Can I make French Toast ahead of time?
Yes! Cook and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster for best results.

Can I freeze French Toast?
Absolutely. Freeze slices in a single layer, then reheat directly from frozen in the toaster or oven.
