To enjoy, simply remove the bread from its packaging. It can be eaten as is, or for a warmer experience, it can be lightly toasted in a toaster or oven until golden brown. Spreading a thin layer of butter or cream cheese can enhance its flavor. It also makes an excellent base for French toast, absorbing the egg mixture beautifully while retaining its cherry notes.
