How I Store and Reheat French Toast Casserole
If there’s one thing I love about French toast casserole, it’s how good the leftovers are. Like, weirdly good. You’d think it might go soggy or dry out, but if you store and reheat it the right way, it holds up like a champ. And on a busy weekday morning? That’s a small miracle.
Here’s how I keep it fresh:
Refrigerator
Once it cools down (don’t rush it), I cover the dish tightly with foil or press plastic wrap right against the surface. Into the fridge it goes, and it’ll be good for up to four days.
Freezer
If I want to save some for later-later, I cut it into slices, wrap each one individually, and toss them into a freezer bag. They’ll stay good for about three months.
How I bring it back to life:
Oven – This is my go-to. I preheat to 350°F, cover the slice with foil, and warm it for about 15 minutes. It stays soft in the center and crisp on top.
Microwave – Fast and fine in a pinch. I put a damp paper towel on top so it doesn’t dry out. About 30 to 60 seconds does it.
Air fryer – Perfect if I want those crispy edges again. 350°F for 3–5 minutes, and it’s golden.
Want to freshen it up a little?
- I drizzle on maple syrup before reheating—it adds moisture and makes it feel new.
- A scoop of fruit or a dollop of whipped cream works too.
- If it’s feeling dry, a little melted butter over the top fixes everything.
Leftover French toast casserole is basically breakfast gold. Treat it right, and it’ll treat you right back.
