Notes
Make Ahead: Wrap a few slices individually in plastic wrap and freeze them in a resealable plastic freezer bag. Eat within 1–2 months for the best quality.
To reheat: Place frozen toast on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 375°F for 8–10 minutes or use a toaster.
Kick it up a notch: Try using thick slices of French bread, sourdough, or cinnamon bread.
