Make-Ahead French Toast

Directions

1. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla, syrup, and salt to a quarter sheet pan and mix together with a fork until combined.
2. Cut the slices of bread in half and place on the egg mixture in a flat layer. 
3. Let sit for 5 minutes, then flip each piece of bread. Soak for at least 10 minutes, up to an hour, on the other side so the bread absorbs the egg mix. 
4. When you’re ready, heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add butter to the hot pan, then add the bread. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. 
5. Transfer the French toast to a Pyrex container and let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
6. To pack in my kids’ lunches, I heat a Thermos with boiling water, dry it, then cut the French toast into cubes before adding it to the Thermos. I send a small container of maple syrup to have with it.
