Can I Use White Bread Instead of Wheat in French Toast Cups 

Absolutely! You can swap out the wheat bread for what type of bread you have on hand. We enjoy wheat bread in our home, so it is what we had on hand. You could even use a croissant or something like that, just try to flatten it out so it can be formed into a cup shape.

    Okay, so you either love ricotta cheese, or you hate it. You are welcome to swap out the ricotta cheese for some softened cream cheese if you like. Just spread on a little and then top with berries like you would with the ricotta cheese. 

    Other Variations for French Toast Cups 

    Feel free to change up the berries you use on top, add in other fruits like pineapple, coconut shreds or skip the fruit. I am a massive fan of the fruit, it adds a subtle sweetness to the mix, but omit if you prefer.

    Could I Substitute Almond Milk for Regular Milk 

    Yes, you could use any type of milk you prefer. If you prefer soy, it will work. Just add in the same amount of milk as what the recipe calls for. It could slightly change the flavor but not by much since you only use a little milk. 

    What To Serve With French Toast Muffin Cups

    • Sausage & Butternut Squash Breakfast Casserole | If you have some guests over, this is a super easy casserole that you can whip up to feed a crowd. We love making this in the summer with fresh squash from the garden. 
    • Oven Scrambled Eggs | I love making scrambled eggs in the oven. You get light and fluffy eggs that require minimal effort on your part. It makes for a quick side to pair next to this french toast recipe. 
    • Sausage or Bacon | Whip up a batch of sausage or bacon to pair for a savory option! 

    Best Way to Store Leftover French Toast 

    Take what you have leftover and place in an airtight container and place in the fridge. Unfortunately, your french toast can become a bit soggy as it chills in the refrigerator, but the flavor is still delicious. You can store it in the fridge for two days. 

    Just don’t add the ricotta cheese or fruit to the top of your french toast, and store it plain. Then after it is reheated then add in your toppings. 

    How to Reheat French Toast Cups

    The way I reheat is just in the microwave. Now if you have the ricotta cheese and fruit on top, I don’t recommend reheating as it will ruin the toppings. You can also place back in the muffin tin and bake in the oven until warmed through.
