I have a question about the croc pot french toast. Can you put together the night before, refrigerate, then cook in the morning?
Ashley says
I was wondering the same thing Amy. I am thinking it would be good to mix up the egg mixture the night before and refrigerate that. Cut up the bread as well. Then in the morning all you have to do is combine the mixture & bread and put it in the crockpot. So it still saves time in the morning but the bread isn’t sitting in the milk/egg mixture all night.
