French toast with egg and milk in a frying pan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage
Yes! You can use brioche, challah, or even sandwich bread. Just note that softer breads may soak up more liquid, so adjust dipping time to prevent sogginess.
Absolutely! Substitute milk with almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version. The flavor may vary slightly but will still work well.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or skillet for best texture.
Yes! Replace eggs with a flaxseed or chia egg (1 tbsp ground flax/chia + 3 tbsp water per egg) and use plant-based milk and butter. The texture will be slightly different but still tasty.
For crispiness, reheat in a toaster, air fryer, or skillet over medium heat. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the toast soggy.
Yes! Let cooked slices cool completely, then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven straight from frozen.
Don’t over-soak the bread—just dip until coated. Also, ensure your pan is hot before adding the bread, and avoid overcrowding the pan.
Top with fresh berries, maple syrup, whipped cream, or nut butter. For savory options, try avocado, smoked salmon, or a fried egg.
Absolutely! Use gluten-free bread and ensure all other ingredients (like spices) are gluten-free certified. The cooking method remains the same.
Simply multiply the ingredients based on servings needed. Use a large shallow dish for dipping to accommodate more bread slices at once.
