To make life easy, especially when serving a family or brunch guests, you can cook this French toast before everyone shows up for breakfast. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and set in a 200°F oven. As batches are done, place them on the rack; keep warm up to 30 minutes. If you’ve got fresh berries, serve them along with the warm sauce. Dust with cinnamon before serving, if desired. You could make a French toast breakfast bar if preparing this recipe for entertaining. Having other warm toppings like the strawberry sauce - warmed fruit, toasted nuts, a warmed syrup or butter - offers a great way to be sure the French toast stays hot and delicious on the plate.
