Notes

Toppings

Syrups & spreads like honey, maple syrup & Nutella are great.

Fruits, fresh berries, compotes, chocolate chips, and air fried caramelized bananas are some of my son's favorites.

Storing and Reheating

Sourdough French toast is best eaten fresh, while the edges are still lovely and crispy.

If you have leftovers, let them cool briefly and refrigerate in an airtight container within 2 hours of cooking. They will keep for 3–4 days.

To reheat, warm the French toast in a skillet over medium-low heat until heated through. You can also use a toaster oven or air fryer to bring back some of the crispy edges.

For school lunch boxes, pack the cooled French toast with an ice pack to keep it chilled until lunchtime.
