Notes

How to reheat french toast:

Toaster: pop them in a toaster just like a piece of toast, the outside gets nice and toasty again.
Oven: place the French toast in a single layer on a baking sheet and warm them up in the oven at 300 degrees for 5-7 minutes.
Microwave: zap them in the microwave for about a minute, the outside won't be crispy.
