Notes
My Top Tip: Keep the pan at medium heat. If the pan gets too hot, the outside can brown before the egg mixture in the center has a chance to cook.
Storage: French toast tastes best right after you make it. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet, toaster oven, air fryer, or microwave until warmed through.
Freezing: Let the French toast cool completely, then freeze the slices in a single layer before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen or thaw overnight in the fridge first.
