Storage/Reheating
S’mores French toast is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through.
Avoid microwaving, as marshmallows can become rubbery when reheated this way.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep the sandwiches and store them in the fridge, then dip and cook when ready to serve.
What bread works best for this recipe?
Thick slices like brioche, challah, or Texas toast hold up well and soak in the egg mixture without falling apart.
Do I have to use mini marshmallows?
Mini marshmallows melt more evenly, but large ones can be chopped or used if preferred.
Can I toast the graham cracker crumbs?
Yes, toasting them in a dry skillet for a minute adds extra crunch and flavor.
Is this overly sweet?
It’s definitely a treat, but the richness can be balanced with less syrup and lighter toppings.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, use gluten-free bread and graham cracker alternatives.
How do I prevent the filling from leaking?
Don’t overfill the sandwich, and press the edges slightly to help seal before cooking.
Can I use marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallows?
Yes, spread a thin layer for an even melt and easier cleanup.
What’s the best chocolate to use?
Milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips or bars all work well. You can also use Nutella.
Can I serve this with syrup?
Yes, though it’s sweet enough on its own. A drizzle of chocolate sauce or maple syrup works well if you want extra indulgence.
