Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 12 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., brioche or Texas toast)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off before placing the bread onto the skillet.
Cook the bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat this process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Allow the cooked French toast slices to cool completely on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy during freezing.
Once cooled, place the French toast slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 1-2 hours, or until the slices are firm.
Transfer the frozen slices to a resealable freezer-safe bag or airtight container, separating each slice with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
To reheat, microwave a slice for 30-60 seconds or toast it in a toaster oven until heated through. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
