 Heart Shaped Challah Bread French Toast Bites Recipe Valentine's day is almost upon us and what better way to celebrate the person/people you love than these cute bites of love?!  Usually whenever I make French Toast, I let the bread sit overnight in the fridge in the egg mix, but I tried that with this recipe and it caused more issues (the bread falling apart).
