Ingredients

• 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah recommended)
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl or large mixing dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt until fully combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the cooking surface evenly.

Step 3

Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated to prevent sogginess.

Step 4

Place the coated bread slice onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.

Step 5

Allow the cooked French toast slices to cool completely on a wire rack. This prevents steam from making the bread soggy when freezing.

Step 6

Once cooled, lay the French toast slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the freezer and freeze until the slices are solid (about 1-2 hours).

Step 7

Transfer the frozen French toast slices to a large zip-top freezer bag or airtight container. Label with the date and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Step 8

To reheat, place a frozen French toast slice directly in a toaster, toaster oven, or on a skillet over medium heat, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until fully heated and crispy. Alternatively, reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 8-10 minutes.
