High-Protein Freezer French Toast
One of the easiest breakfasts to prep ahead is French toast. It's a simple way to have a nourishing, high-protein breakfast ready for busy mornings, postpartum recovery, picky eaters, or feeding your family without starting from scratch each day.
This version combines sourdough bread, pasture-raised eggs, raw milk (or protein milk), and collagen peptides for a protein-rich twist on a classic breakfast. Consider doubling the batch and freezing the extras for easy breakfasts throughout the week.
Ingredients
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 5 pasture-raised eggs
- 1 cup raw milk (or protein milk for an extra protein boost)
- 2 scoops unflavored collagen peptides
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1–2 tablespoons grass-fed butter, for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, collagen, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Dip each slice of sourdough into the mixture, allowing it to soak briefly on both sides.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the grass-fed butter.
- Cook the French toast for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately or allow the slices to cool completely before freezing.
How to Freeze
Place cooled slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months.
To reheat, simply pop the slices into a toaster, toaster oven, or warm skillet until heated through.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with grass-fed butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, Greek yogurt, hemp hearts, or nut butter for an extra boost of protein and healthy fats.
A little prep today can make breakfast feel effortless tomorrow.
Protein Content
Approximately 10–11 grams of protein per slice, depending on the bread and collagen used.
If you serve 2 slices, that's about 20–22 grams of protein.
For an even more protein-rich breakfast, try adding:
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (+10–15g protein)
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts (+3g protein)
- Sausage, bacon, or extra eggs on the side
With a few simple additions, you can easily turn this into a 30–40+ gram protein breakfast.
