Notes
- If you are making breakfast for a crowd, place cooked French toast slices on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Substitutions/Additions
- Any kind of cereal, bread or milk can be used for this recipe. I'm a big believer in "using what you have". Don't hit the store for special ingredients, get creative!

- This recipe can also be frozen after cooking. Cool completely, and place in ziplock bags with parchment separating each slice. Freeze. To reheat, place in the oven or toaster until heated through.
