Frozen French toast is pre-cooked French toast that has been frozen for convenience. It’s typically sold in the frozen breakfast section of grocery stores and can be reheated quickly in a toaster, oven, or microwave.
What It's Made Of:
Frozen French toast is made from slices of bread dipped in a mixture of:
-
Eggs
-
Milk or cream
-
Sugar
-
Cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
-
Vanilla extract (optional)
After cooking (usually griddled or baked), the slices are flash-frozen to preserve freshness.
How to Use It:
You can reheat frozen French toast by:
-
Toaster: Quick and gives a crispy edge.
-
Oven: Best for heating multiple pieces.
-
Microwave: Fast but can make it soft or soggy.
Homemade Version:
You can make your own frozen French toast by preparing it normally, letting it cool, and then freezing the slices on a tray before transferring them to a freezer bag. This is a great make-ahead breakfast option.

How It Use??
To use frozen French toast, follow these simple steps depending on how you want to heat it up:
🔥 1. Toaster (Best for Crispiness)
Step 1: Take the frozen French toast out of the package.
Step 2: Put it in your toaster like a regular slice of bread.
Step 3: Toast on medium until hot and crispy (usually 2–3 minutes).
✔️ Best for: Quick breakfast with a crispy outside.
🔥 2. Oven (Best for Multiple Pieces)
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Place frozen slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 3: Bake for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
✔️ Best for: Heating several pieces at once with even texture.
🔥 3. Microwave (Quickest Method)
Step 1: Place 1–2 slices on a microwave-safe plate.
Step 2: Microwave on high for 30–60 seconds, depending on your microwave.
✔️ Best for: When you’re in a hurry (but may be softer, not crispy).
🍓 Serve It With:
Maple syrup
Fresh fruit (berries, bananas)
Butter
Whipped cream
Powdered sugar
Assembly instructions:
- Whisk together the milk, eggs, spices, vanilla, and orange zest. Heat a skillet or griddle to medium heat and grease with some olive oil. Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture and cook on both sides until browned.
- Lay the cooked slices on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Place cookie sheet in freezer. By freezing them individually like this first, they won’t stick together in the bag and will be easy to remove one at a time.
- Once frozen, place slices in a large resealable freezer bag. Remove excess air, seal and freeze.
These make such an easy weekday breakfast. The french toast slices can be taken out one or two at a time and popped in the toaster or toaster oven. Top with syrup or fresh fruit.
When I make this, I use cinnamon bread from a local bakery and double or quadruple the recipe so that I can fill many bags with french toast in the freezer for busy morning. My kids love these and eat them almost as quickly as I can make them!
