Notes
The nutrition label uses challah/brioche bread.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 2 -3 days in the fridge.
Reheating Instructions: You can reheat individual slices in the microwave the next day. However, the best way to reheat it is to pop it back in the oven at is to bake it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. This will warm through the french toast and add a crisp to the top again.
Make Ahead Tips: You can make the batter up to 24 hours ahead of time. You can also prepare the entire dish in advance if you have very thick and crusty bread that will hold up to being soaked for hours.
