    What seasonings are used for Fall?

    Fall is the perfect time to bring out spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. These warm flavors enhance the flavor of many French toast recipes and add a subtle sweetness that really compliments the natural taste of fall fruits like apples, pears, and cranberries. You can also use other herbs and seasonings to give your French toast a unique spice blend. Consider adding cloves, cardamom, star anise, and even turmeric to give your recipe an extra touch of flavor and color.

    What type of bread is best for making French toast?

    The best kind of bread to use for French toast is anything that’s slightly stale – so feel free to use up that loaf of Italian or French bread that’s been sitting around for a few days. Challah, Brioche, and Texas toast are great options as well, but whatever you choose should have some body to it; the ideal bread slice should be able to stand up against the soaking and cooking without becoming too soggy. Somewhere between ¾ and an inch is ideal. You can also use vegan or gluten-free bread, just be sure to adjust the soaking times accordingly.

    How long should French toast cook?

    The cooking time will depend on how thick your slices are and how dark you like your toast. Generally speaking, each side should take two to three minutes over medium heat in a greased skillet. If you’re turning up the heat, reduce the cooking time to one minute per side. You can also use a griddle to get an even crispier result - just remember to adjust the temperature accordingly. Check for doneness by pressing down on your French toast with a spatula; it should feel slightly springy and golden brown. Enjoy!

    How long can I store French toast?

    If you have leftovers, place the cooked pieces in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 10 minutes. You can also microwave your French toast on medium-high power for 30 seconds to one minute, but expect the texture to be a bit soggier than when freshly cooked. Enjoy!

    Can I freeze French toast?

    Yes! To make sure your French toast keeps its freshness and texture, let it cool completely before storing it. Place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for one hour. Then, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to three months. To reheat, drop frozen pieces into a preheated pan at medium heat for two minutes per side or until they’re warmed through. Enjoy!

    Can I make French toast ahead of time?

    Yes, you can absolutely make your French toast ahead of time. To do this, prepare the egg mixture and soak the slices in it overnight in the refrigerator. Then, when you’re ready to cook them, just heat your pan or griddle and cook the slices as you normally would. This will save you time in the morning and leave you with a delicious breakfast that’s ready to go. Enjoy!
