Freezer French Toast

A classic recipe for Freezer French Toast that’s perfect for busy mornings or a relaxing weekend. I’m including freezing tips to help you enjoy this easy recipe even on the busiest of mornings trying to get everyone out of the house. It’s so easy, the kids can heat it up themselves while you’re getting ready. 

Classic French Toast served on a red plate with butter and maple syrup.

Freezer French Toast

Freezer French Toast is an easy way to enjoy French toast on busy mornings. This is a classic recipe that your family is going to love!

One of my favorite breakfasts to enjoy is French Toast. Nothing fancy like the French Toast Casserole that is so popular here on the blog, but just good old-fashioned sandwich bread dipped in an egg and milk mixture, sprinkled with some cinnamon/sugar. Once the French toast is cooked, I like to top it with warm syrup and maybe just a little bit of butter.

I also like to make extra to freeze so on busy mornings all we need to do is pull a few slices of already made French Toast from the freezer and breakfast is ready!

Classic Family Recipe

By the way, not only do I enjoy French Toast, but my family does as well.  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.

French Toast is usually a Saturday breakfast for our family.  Most of the time, I mix together too much egg mixture and never know what to do with the extra, but not anymore.

How to Make Freezer French Toast

This is a classic recipe meaning it’s easy and there’s not much to the recipe.  In fact most people don’t even need a recipe to make it, but there’s one at the bottom of this post for you.

Make sure you print out the recipe below and save it for later!

Ingredients: 

  • 12 slices bread – I like to use white sandwich bread
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • Cooking oil spray or butter
  • Cinnamon/sugar mixture

Directions: 

  1. Mix together the eggs and milk.
  2. Dip the slices of white bread into the egg mixture.
  3. Place the slices of bread onto a hot griddle that’s been coated in melted butter.
  4. Sprinkle the bread with the cinnamon/sugar mixture before flipping to continue cooking on the other side.

Let’s Get Cooking!

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. 
  • Subsequently, you can always serve the French toast with either Homemade Strawberry Sauce or Homemade Blueberry Sauce.

How to Freeze French Toast

In addition to this being an amazingly delicious recipe, you can also freeze the French toast. Sometimes I like to make extra so I can have leftovers to freeze. This was very helpful when my children were younger, especially my son. He loved a warm breakfast before school. My daughter was a completely different story. 

  • 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.

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 and freeze 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!)

    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
