Easy meals like this are perfect for getting the kids in the kitchen cooking with you! My kids started flipping the French Toast at a young age and helping crack the eggs. Now that they are nearing their adult years, it’s one they can do solo.

French Toast Ingredients:

French Toast Bread
Eggs
Vanilla
Cinnamon

Now you can make this with a variety of different add in’s to the french toast to customize it, i included a list of options at the end.

How To Make French Toast:

Preheat your griddle or large fry pan, and grease it with shortening to help stop the French toast from sticking.

Mix your eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.

Bread dipped in egg and cinnamon for french toast

Once your griddle or pan is hot and ready, dip a slice of your bread into the batter and coat both sides

Pro Tip: Don’t allow the bread to sit in the mixture. It will be too soggy if you do.

Place on the hot cooking surface and allow to cook.

Make more batter as you need.

I tend to add more cinnamon after making some French Toast; sometimes, the batter seems to have the cinnamon disappear pretty fast.

Serve and enjoy!

How Long To Store French Toast

Store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to five days after cooking.

You can freeze French toast for up to three months in an airtight container or freezer bag.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The air-tight container and a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.
