    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. Freezing now means time saved later. Meal prepping your French toast means you can spend less time putting breakfast on the table and more time making sure you have everything before walking out that door in the morning.
    2. It doesn't take too long to do. This recipe takes about as long as making fresh French toast but with a few small added steps. The prep time can be significantly cut down if you have an electric griddle because you can cook several slices at once!
    3. It's frugal. Cooking at home saves money compared to dining out, using affordable pantry staples like bread, eggs, milk, and flavorings. French toast is a staple in budget-friendly meal plans like $140 Monthly Meal Plan for Family of 4 or $180 Monthly Meal Plan for Family of 4.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make homemade frozen french toast.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Sandwich bread- I prefer using sandwich bread for French toast due to its affordability and convenience. Any bread can be used, but note that the results may vary. Sourdough bread can be used for a tasty variation like Sourdough French Toast.

    Milk- Adding in some milk is a great way to stretch the egg mixture so that it stretches to coat more slices of bread.

    Cinnamon- Adding in some ground cinnamon will give you a wonderful warm flavor in every bite.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    Milk. You can use dairy free milk, whole milk, low fat milk, etc. Any milk works just fine here!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Preheat your griddle or skillet before adding the French toast to ensure even cooking. Look for water droplets dancing across the pan to indicate readiness.
    2. For large batches, consider using a food processor to blend the egg mixture. It's easier and quicker compared to using a mixing bowl and whisk.
    3. Store bread loaf ends in a freezer bag until ready to use for bread pudding. My favorites are Bread Pudding (with Hamburger Buns) and Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread Pudding.

    🍳 Reheating

    To reheat your French toast, follow these simple steps:

    1. Place a single piece of frozen French toast on a microwave-safe plate.
    2. Heat for 30 seconds. For two slices, heat for approximately 1 minute, adjusting as needed for additional slices.
    3. Avoid overlapping the French toast to ensure thorough heating and prevent uneven cooking.

    🥗 Side Dishes

    Classic Breakfast Sides: You can serve this French toast recipe with just about any breakfast side dish you want! Our favorite breakfast side dishes include homemade frozen Hashbrowns, fresh fruit, orange juice, and bacon.

    Toppings: You can also try some Mixed Berry Syrup over the top for a delicious experience (try adding some whipped cream too!)

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Why is my French toast soggy inside?

    If your french toast is soggy, it could be that you either oversoaked the bread or that you had too high of a temperature on your pan, resulting in cooked outsides and raw centers.

    What fruits go well with French toast?

    Berries like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries are all great ideas. I recommend using fresh and not frozen berries for the best looking and tasting results. Frozen berries tend to get mushy when thawing.

    Does French toast freeze well?

    Freezing French toast preserves taste and quality. After cooling, transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

    What is the best way to freeze French toast?

    To freeze French toast, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange slices evenly, and freeze until mostly solid. Then transfer to a sealed container for up to one month.

    How do you thaw frozen French toast?

    Freezing French toast risks sogginess upon thawing. For optimal texture, reheat directly from frozen in oven, stovetop, microwave, or toaster.

    Milk. You can use dairy free milk, whole milk, low fat milk, etc. Any milk works just fine here!
    Recipe Tips. Make sure that your griddle or skillet is preheated before adding the french toast. This will prevent the french toast from cooking unevenly, thereby giving you much better results. You will know your pan is ready when water droplets can dance across it.
