Made in advance French Toast
This really is a brilliant breakfast/ brunch recipe as so handy to have a batch of in the freezer. These can be easily reheated in the microwave. When packing them into freezer bags make sure to add a layer of baking paper between each to stop them sticking!

Crack your eggs into a high sided flat dish.
-
Add the milk and the cinnamon and whisk gently with a fork.
-
Oil a large flat frying pan, (only need a small amount).
-
Next put a slice of bread in the egg mix, turn over so egg gets on both sides and place in frying pan, as per the video.
-
Keep going until all your bread is cooked into French toast.
-
Ready for freezer
Allow all French toast to cool.
Cut greaseproof paper into the size of your slice of bread.
Then assemble as per the video with 1 slice of French toast then I slice of greaseproof paper so that the French toast doesn’t stick together. Stack them high and add them to a labelled freezer bag to put in freezer. -
Ready to eat
These can be cooked from frozen, simply microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.
Absolutely brilliant, I love eggy bread but rarely think of making it. The thought of having it pre-made in the freezer is brilliant.
Does anyone else make it with salt and pepper in the egg mixture and the just eat it sprinkled with salt ? This is the way my mum did it and the way me and my sister still make it.
I have never had it sweet but will give this a try
