Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a shallow bowl or large mixing dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt until fully combined.
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.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated to prevent sogginess.
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.
Allow the cooked French toast slices to cool completely on a wire rack. This prevents steam from making the bread soggy when freezing.
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).
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.
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.
