For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the egg mixture. If you don't have French bread, challah or brioche also work beautifully. Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips to the bread slices before pouring over the egg mixture for a customized twist. To prevent sticking, grease the baking dish generously with butter or cooking spray. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.

May 15, 2023The only change I made was to use almond milk instead of regular milk, and it turned out perfectly. Great for those with dairy sensitivities!
