    How do you make this dairy free french toast?

    Making dairy free french toast is actually very easy to do.  If you are making homemade bread, then you’ll want to start by making that. Otherwise, you just need your favorite dairy free bread. 

    Blend or whisk together all the ingredients in a large, flat container.  You want a flat container versus a bowl because it’s easier to make dairy free french toast when you can lay the bread flat to soak up the mixture.

      I tried this with sliced sourdough bread from Safeway (not the deli kind, it comes in a regular bread bag) and the bread did not hold up well. Still yummy and edible but I couldn’t get the bread to crisp. I think it would work well with deli style bread like a French roll, that is something sturdier.

      I am cooking for one, can I store this for later use? If so, how should I store it?

        Hi Anita! Yes you can! Cook it as directed and then you can either leave in the fridge for a few days in an air tight container or store in a freezer bag/container for up to 3 months. Just heat up as needed
