  • Repeat with remaining bread.

Notes

Notes:
Storing leftovers: Once the French toast slices are completely cool, you can place them in airtight container and place them in the fridge. Or to freeze them, store them in freezer bags. The best way to reheat them is microwave for about a minute or place them in the toaster oven.
Helpful tips:
  • Heavy cream gives it a thicker batter but whole milk, 2 % percent or skim milk can be used. 
  • Plant based milk can be used such as coconut milk, oat milk and soy milk. 
  • For spices, cinnamon alone is great if you don’t have the nutmeg, cardamom and clove
