The Ingredients to Get When Making the Large Family Mixed Berry French Toast for the Freezer
You will need a few specific ingredients to prepare the Large Family Mixed Berry French Toast for the Freezer, including:

- French Bread. Cut your French bread into cubes. The French bread has a great texture, making it perfect to use for this dish.
- Vanilla Extract. Add some vanilla extract to the mix to give your French toast a sweeter taste.

How to Freeze the Mixed Berry French Toast
To make the French toast ahead of time and save it for later, you would complete steps one through three, making the casserole. Then follow these steps:
- Wrap each 9×13 pan with two layers of foil.
- Label the top of each pan with the recipe name and date.
- Wrap each 9×13 pan with a layer of plastic wrap.
- Set each pan to freeze in the freezer. Do not stack the pans on top of one another until each pan is individually frozen.
You can leave them in the freezer for up to three months. When you are ready to make these, follow steps five through ten.
After baking the Large Family Mixed Berry French Toast for the Freezer, you have two options. You can serve it to loved ones right away or store it until it is time for breakfast, especially if you decide to prepare this meal at night when you have some extra time.
If you put the food in the freezer after you make it, cut it into sections, and then wrap the French toast in plastic wrap before putting it into a food storage container. Once you put it in the food storage container, seal it shut with a lid and freeze for up to four months.
What to Add to the Large Family Mixed Berry French Toast for the Freezer
Add your favorite toppings to the Large Family Mixed Berry French Toast for the Freezer. After putting your mixed berries on top, you may want to sprinkle some of your favorite syrup on top of the French toast.
If you do not want to add syrup, you can add a dollop of whipped cream to your French toast to make it even more flavorful. Sliced bananas will taste great on top of the French toast with the mixed berries. However, this recipe tastes great just the way that it is, so you do not need to add anything if you do not want to.
