Notes
If you're making a big batch, keep french toast warm on a baking sheet in oven (preheated to 200 degrees) until ready to serve.
Egg bread can be substituted with brioche or any other bread you choose. Thinner bread will yield more servings and will be dipped in the egg mixture for a shorter time.
Leftover french toast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. To reheat, simply pop french toast in the toaster!
Leftover custard mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. To use, simply remove from fridge and dip bread as recipe states.
