Notes

Storage: Store these French Toast sticks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing: Once they have cooled, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Then place the tray in the freezer. Wait 2-3 hours for the sticks to freeze, then gather them up and store them in an airtight container or large zip-lock bag.

Reheating: To reheat, simply remove as many as you’d like from the freezer and then place them on a baking sheet in a 350-degree oven for about 15 minutes. You can also reheat these in a microwave for about 1 minute. However, this method will leave them a bit soft.
