Work up to the final step of cooking them, then let them cool before store in a SINGLE layer in on a covered plate or an airtight container. TIP: Stacking the French toast bites may cause them to smash and not be as fluffy.
The next morning, heat them in the oven at 350F for about 6-10 minutes, or until warmed.
