Notes
- The type of milk you use for French toast can influence the texture and flavor of the dish:
- Whole milk is the most commonly used type of milk for French toast. Its higher fat content adds richness and creates a creamy custard mixture.
- Half-and-half or heavy cream will make the French toast even richer and creamier.
- 2%, 1% or skim milk will result in a lighter French toast.
- Cover leftover French toast and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the skillet over medium to medium-low heat, flipping once, until heated through. You can also microwave them for a short time but they won't retain their crispiness.
