Gluten-Free French Toast

Why have we been eating so much gluten-free French Toast lately?? Well, when gluten-free bread goes on sale we just might tend to go a little crazy! A few weeks ago Fred Meyer had Franz gluten-free bread on sale for $1.50 off EACH loaf. My husband was doing the shopping that day and called to see how many I wanted. We haven’t been eating as much gluten-free bread lately, I’ve stopped making sandwiches for my boys since COVID cancelled in-person school last March. Lately though, my son and his girlfriend have been enjoying avocado toast so we have noticed an uptick in our bread consumption. I asked my husband to check the date on the bread, it was about a month out, so I told him to grab 7 or 8 loaves. That being said, I never know what he’ll actually come home with… this time he decided to put the whole rack in the cart!! He came home with over 25 loaves of gluten-free bread!

No longer feeling the need to be stingy with our bread we suddenly have a new found passion for gluten-free French Toast! This might sound silly to non-gfers but seriously, we typically consume our bread in a cautious and planned out manner. Gluten-free bread generally has a shorter shelf life not to mention the loaves are half the size & 4 times the cost of a regular loaf of bread. Luckily Franz GF bread is vacuum sealed which means I didn’t have to put all those loaves in the freezer, thank goodness!! Anyway, on to the recipe, we hope you enjoy this classic, deliciously moist and easy gluten-free French Toast as much as we do!
