Recipes FAQ

Can I make French toast ahead of time?

Yes, you can make French toast ahead of time and reheat it in the oven or microwave. To reheat in the oven, place the French toast on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. To reheat in the microwave, place the French toast on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Can I use stale bread for French toast?

Yes, stale bread is actually ideal for French toast because it will absorb more of the egg mixture and won't fall apart as easily. If your bread isn't stale, you can also toast it lightly in the oven or toaster before making French toast.

What toppings can I put on French toast?

Some popular toppings for French toast include maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and jam. You can also get creative and try toppings like Nutella, peanut butter, or caramel sauce.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the egg mixture is well whisked so that the cinnamon and vanilla are evenly distributed.
  • Don't soak the bread for too long or it will become too soggy and fall apart.
  • Use a non-stick frying pan or griddle to prevent the French toast from sticking.
  • Keep the cooked French toast warm in the oven at 200 degrees F while you cook the remaining slices.
  • Experiment with different breads and toppings to find your favorite combination.
