Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They should stay fresh for up to two days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cooked stuffed French toast. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can last up to a month.
  • Pairing: Serve with fresh fruit or a side of syrup for added sweetness.
  • Make-ahead: Prepare the filling the night before and assemble the sandwiches in the morning to save time.
  • Cooking in batches: If you're serving a crowd, consider cooking the toast in batches to maintain the texture.
