bread does not fit on the griddle plates at one time, soak remaining bread while first batch
of French toast is cooking.
4. Remove and reserve the cooked French toast in a warm oven and then repeat with
remaining soaked bread if necessary.
5. To serve, dust with confectioners' sugar and top with fresh fruit and maple syrup, if desired.
*The French toast can also be cooked in the Closed griddle position. Preheat both plates to
350°F in the Closed position, put 2 to 4 pieces on the plate, depending on how many fit, and
close the Griddler. Cooking time will be only about 2 to 3 minutes and you do not need to flip!
