Notes
Use any type of bread you prefer, such as crusty white, cinnamon, banana, or whole wheat. The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings. For a softer texture, broil the French toast casserole-style in a pan. For a firmer texture, broil the slices individually on a baking sheet. Serve with a variety of toppings like syrup, jam, or fresh fruit.
