Notes

Perfectly crisp bread - Nice crisp and toasted bread is key here. When baking the bread before hand, toast until golden brown. Stale bread also works well in french toast recipes.
Room temperature eggs - Letting your eggs sit out for 10 minutes helps them mix well with the batter and rise easily when cooking. For fluffier french toast sticks
Use a nonstick pan - When making more than one round of french toast you're going to want a nonstick pan. It's no fun scrubbing pans for 5 minutes!

Storing - You can store these french toast bites in an airtight container after they have completely cooled. They'll keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. I like to reheat on the stove or in the air fryer for a fresh taste.

Freezing - Freeze for up to 3 months in a ziplock baggie. Make sure your french toast has completely cooled before storing and reheat in air fryer, stove top, or oven.
