This French toast recipe is a great way to use up leftover gluten-free bread. It freezes well too, so it’s wonderful for a warm breakfast when you’re short on time. Serve it with pure maple syrup, jam, fresh fruit, or compote. 6 slices gluten-free bread (I used Ener-G Brand) 3 eggs 1/3 cup vanilla rice,…
