Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brioche or challah bread instead of regular white bread. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the egg mixture for extra depth. If you're short on eggs, try a mixture of 2 eggs and 1/4 cup of yogurt for a lighter version. Make sure to let the bread soak in the mixture for at least a minute to absorb the flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your French toast with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for a delightful breakfast. It pairs beautifully with Go Bananas Ice Cream for an indulgent treat. For a more balanced meal, consider a side of yogurt or a fruit salad. You can also try adding nuts or whipped cream for extra texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices in a toaster or oven to restore their crispiness. You can also microwave them for a quick option but be aware they may become a bit soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use almond milk instead of regular milk?
Yes, almond milk can be used as a substitute for regular milk in this recipe. It will add a subtle nutty flavor to the French toast. Just ensure you're using unsweetened almond milk to avoid altering the sweetness of the dish.
What type of bread works best for French toast?
Thick-sliced bread varieties like brioche, challah, or sourdough are ideal for French toast, as they soak up the egg mixture without falling apart. Avoid using thin slices of bread, as they may not hold the mixture well and can become too soggy.
Can I make French toast ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the egg mixture and soak the bread slices the night before. Store them in the refrigerator and cook them in the morning. Alternatively, you can cook a larger batch and reheat them as needed, making it a great option for busy mornings.
