French toast is a classic breakfast recipe that is loved by many. It is a simple dish made by dipping bread slices in an egg mixture and cooking them until golden brown. However, making French toast can be time-consuming, especially when cooking for a large group. Freezer French toast is a solution to this problem; it is a make-ahead recipe that can be prepared in advance and frozen for later use. The recipe is quick, adaptable, and perfect for busy mornings when time is short, but a delicious breakfast is a must.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and nutmeg or cinnamon.
3.	Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, ensuring that they are fully coated.
4.	Melt two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
5.	Cook the bread slices in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6.	Place cooked French toast on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for one hour.
7.	Once frozen, remove from the freezer and place the slices in a freezer bag.
8.	To reheat, preheat the oven to 375°F and bake frozen slices for 10-15 minutes, until heated through. Serve with sliced bananas and maple syrup.

PROS

Freezer French Toast is a perfect make-ahead breakfast; it can be made in large batches and frozen for later.

The recipe is easy to adapt and personalize; you can add your favorite toppings like sliced bananas or blueberries.

CONS

Frozen French toast may become soggy when reheating, but this issue can be avoided by baking the slices instead of microwaving them.

The recipe contains sugar and butter, which may not fit into everyone’s dietary requirements.
