Notes
- To freeze, allow to cool to room temperature and then individually wrap and then store in a freezer bag. Once defrosted you can reheat in the toaster.
- Try to use 2 day old bread, as this will stop the French toast from becoming too soggy.
- Make a toddler friendly version of this by leaving out the maple syrup and then cutting it in to sticks.
- You can lighten this up even more by using just egg whites, rather than whole eggs.
