Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.

• Sliced White Bread - I like to use "cheap" sandwich bread. You know the kind of sandwich bread you can get for around $1.00? In my opinion, this makes the best French Toast.
• Eggs
• Milk - I have made this recipe with whole, 2% and even skim milk. I prefer using whole milk.
• Cooking oil spray or butter
• Cinnamon - you can even cinnamon/sugar mixture.
• Maple Syrup

Step-by-Step Directions

• Step 1: Mix together the eggs, milk and cinnamon.
• Step 2: Dip the slices of white bread into the egg mixture.

• Step 3: Place the slices of bread onto a hot electric skillet or stove top griddle that's been brushed in melted butter.
• Step 4: Flip and cook the other side.

🥣Serving Tips

• Serve the French toast immediately with a little butter and, of course, maple syrup.
• We like our syrup warmed in the microwave for a few minutes.
• Another delicious way is to serve the French toast with either Homemade Strawberry Sauce or Homemade Blueberry Sauce.

🍶Storage Tips

• Place the leftover French toast in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
• Then, store it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 2-3 days.

❄️Freezing Tips

• Lay your leftover French Toast in a single layer on a baking sheet that's been covered in either waxed paper, parchment paper or even aluminum foil.
• Next, place the tray in the freezer.
• Leave the tray in the freezer for about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove the FROZEN French Toast slices and place in a freezer safe bag.

🔁 Thawing and Reheating Tips

• The next time you're having a busy morning, just pull a few slices out of the freezer and heat up in the microwave.
• You can also reheat the frozen bread slices in the toaster or on a baking sheet placed in a preheated 350 degree oven.
• Serve as usual with butter and syrup.

Once you prepare freezer French toast this way, you'll see how easy it is to reheat and prepare for breakfast on busy mornings. Even the kids can help themselves to breakfast!
