Notes
This recipe is ideal for making the night before. Simply assemble the muffins, pour in the egg mixture, cover tightly and store in the refrigerator over night.
Remove muffins from the fridge 30 minutes before baking to remove the chill. Bake as directed. A few more minutes baking time might be because the muffins will be cold.
To store leftover muffins, cover tightly and refrigerate for 3-4 days.
To freeze, wrap each muffin individually and freeze 2-3 months.
To reheat, warm in the microwave or in a 350° oven until warm.Almost any bread works for french toast.
For these muffins, I always use brioche, or cinnamon brioche. But you can also use:
-
- croissants
-
- french bread
-
- sour dough
-
- Texas toast
-
- challah
-
- sour dough
