Family-Style French Toast with Strawberry Syrup
Looking for an easy way to prepare French toast for a crowd? Try this recipe, which uses a frittata pan to cook a large round of French toast that’s cut into wedges for serving. For best results, slice the bread the day before and let it dry out, uncovered, at room temperature. When arranging the pieces of bread in the pan, make sure they fit snugly together in an even layer.
