French Toast Like in Kindergarten
Description
Golden-brown croutons like the ones from kindergarten are perfect for lunch with any first course. You can make them ahead of time and store them in a bread box so they don’t absorb moisture. For adults, you can make these croutons with garlic, Provençal herbs, dried thyme, and so on. They can be served warm or chilled.

Fry the French toast over medium heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Watch closely, as they can burn very easily and you'll end up with unappetizing-looking French toast.
