French Toast is best when you use slightly stale bread. If you don’t have stale bread, you can achieve the same effect by letting the bread sit out overnight.

Use your favorite warm spices like allspice, cloves, or cardamom for a deeper fall flavor. Apple pie spice works beautifully here too, adding a little twist to the classic pumpkin spice vibe.

If you want to prep breakfast, this is a great recipe to use! Cook the French toast, let it cool, and divide it into individual containers. Add a small tub of syrup or fruit for quick breakfasts all week long.
