Growing up, I just remember french toast as eggs, milk and bread. Sometimes my dad would add cinnamon and it was such a nice treat. It is funny how as you get older you start to realize how many ways there are to do things. Most of the time, the way I had it growing up was the “right way” but in this case, I think my adult french toast (that sounds a little dirty 😉 is much more interesting than the way I used to make it. I guess that is part of growing up, taking things here and there from your childhood and making it even better to fit you better as you grow up. Who knew french toast could be so enlightening!
We make our french toast in a big batch and freeze it for quick breakfasts during the week. If you want single servings you can cut this recipe accordingly!
Heat skillet or pan on medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, dump all ingredients except for bread.
Mix well.
Dip bread in the mixture one slice at a time, turning twice to evenly coat and allow bread to soak up the good stuff!
Allow the excess to drip of the bread and place on the skillet.
Repeat until the skillet is full. I stir the liquid mixture between each bread slice dipping to keep the cinnamon proportion right for each piece! I always feel bad for the last slice if there is a lack of cinnamon goodness!
Allow the toast to cook for about a minute and flip, continue doing this until both sides are golden brown.
Stack up those slices.
I feel like I have accomplished something if I can have very little waste with the liquid mixture! I usually end up with something like this.
To freeze, just put the slices into freezer ziplock bags. We have done it where we put all of the slices in one big bag and they break apart pretty easily when you go to eat them later but this time we only had the small individual bags so we bagged them 2 to a bag for easy servings. Just pop them in the toaster and heat up like you would eggos or any other freezer delight! We love the extra toastiness that these provide so we even throw our fresh french toast into the toaster before serving!
