Can you Freeze French Toast
However, sometimes it can be a lot of work to get French Toast on the table, especially when you're trying to get everyone ready and out the door to school, work or even church on Sunday mornings.
I also like to make extra freezer French toast to use on busy mornings. All we need to do is pull a few slices from the freezer, reheat in the microwave and breakfast is ready!
If you want to take this recipe up a notch, try my Cinnamon Roll French Toast Recipe which is the perfect combination of French toast and cinnamon rolls in one easy recipe.
Frozen French Toast
French Toast is usually a Saturday breakfast for our family. I always try to make extra so I can freeze the leftovers to use during the week.
This freezer French toast recipe was very helpful when my children were younger. They loved a warm breakfast before school.

- 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/sugar mixture - you can use a store-bought mixture or make it homemade.
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
Mix together the eggs and milk. Dip the slices of white bread into the egg mixture.
Step 2: Cook French Toast in Electric Skillet
Place the slices of bread onto a hot electric skillet or stove top griddle that's been coated in melted butter.
Sprinkle the bread with the cinnamon/sugar mixture before flipping to continue cooking on the other side.
Step 3: How to Serve French Toast
- Serve the French toast immediately with a little butter and, of course, 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.
Step 4 : How to Freeze French Toast
- 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.
Step 5: How to Reheat Frozen French Toast
- 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!

I love french toast. Using your recipe and techniques, I have made a batch and frozen it a couple times, it's a brilliant idea. We have it, breakfast, lunch or dinner. My husband has even been known to have a piece for a snack.

Freezing French toast; brilliant! Now that school's out, I don't have to get up early but Hubby still does. It would be awesome for him to have another breakfast choice. This is an outstanding idea. (Your French toast look perfect!)
Cranberry Morning says
Looks yummy. Kevin likes to make French toast for the grandkids when they're visiting. This week, when he asked the 5 year old if he wanted French toast, he said, 'Grandpa, we've had French toast THREE DAYS this week.' So they had pancakes that morning. lol
