WHAT KIND OF BREAD DO I USE FOR FRENCH TOAST?
Honestly you can use any bread that you like, the thicker or sturdier the better. Some of our favorites include:
- Texas Toast
- Challah
- Brioche
- Cinnamon Raisin
- French Bread
You can absolutely buy loaves of bread and slice them thick, we do that a lot of the time when we use Brioche or Challah when we don’t find them already pre-sliced.
So there are many options on bread types for this recipe, it all depends on what you can find at your grocer and what you personally like,!
HOW TO STORE:
If you are not going to eat all of your French Toast in one sitting you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for one day, after that it get to mushy.
You can reheat either back in the pan to warm it up, in the toaster for a quick toast or in the oven at a low setting.
You can also freeze leftovers, place your cooked slices on a baking tray and freeze in the freezer for about an hour then store in an airtight freezer bag, this should last up too 3 months.
Let defrost in the refrigerator then heat up like I said above.

There are so many different ways you can top French Toast! We go the normal route with butter, syrup and fruit usually.
Some other options include, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, peanut butter, etc.
