Take a little time to make
in advance a large batch of homemade French toast and freeze
for convenient, quick and easy use as needed at another time.
Simply reheat the frozen slices in the toaster and eat!
Make-Ahead
French Toast
- 12 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
12 slices bread
1/4 cup butter
- Preheat oven to 500°F
(260°C).
- In medium bowl, beat together
eggs and milk until well blended. Pour half of the egg mixture
into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Place 6 of the bread slices
in the egg mixture. Turn slices and let stand until egg mixture
is absorbed. Place on heavily buttered baking sheet. Repeat with
remaining egg mixture and bread slices.
- Bake for 6 minutes. Turn
slices. Spread with butter, if desired. Continue baking until
golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately or freeze
for later use.
Makes 8 servings.
Variation: For cinnamon
French toast, add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the beaten egg
mixture.
To Freeze: Cool toast slices
on wire rack. Return to baking sheets. Freeze in single layer
1 to 2 hours. Wrap in individual-serving portions or stack slices
and wrap. Return to freezer. Store up to 1 month.
To Serve Frozen Toast:
Reheat single servings in toaster or place unwrapped slices on
ungreased baking sheets and bake in preheated 375°F (190°C)
oven until hot, about 8 to 10 minutes.
