Ingredients

10 slices of Texas toast – Thick-cut bread holds up perfectly to the egg mixture without falling apart.
8 eggs – The base of our rich and fluffy French toast mix.
1 cup milk or cream – Milk keeps it classic; cream makes it extra indulgent.
2 tsp pure vanilla extract – Adds that warm, bakery-style flavor.
2 tsp cinnamon – Cozy, classic, and essential for French toast vibes.
1/4 cup butter – For that golden, crispy griddle finish.
1 cup fresh berries – Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or whatever you’ve got on hand.
Whipped cream – Optional, but highly encouraged.
Syrup – Maple syrup is a must around here.

Instructions

1. In a quart-sized mason jar, combine the eggs, milk (or cream), vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

2. Secure the lid tightly and shake it up until everything is well mixed.

3. Store the jar in your cooler or RV fridge until you’re ready to cook. This is the ultimate make-ahead camping breakfast hack.

4. When it’s time to cook, pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and dip each slice of Texas toast until coated.

5. Preheat your Blackstone to medium-high heat and coat the surface with butter or oil.

Tips & Tricks

Use thick bread – Texas toast or brioche works best to prevent soggy centers.
Don’t oversoak – A quick dip is all you need; too long and the bread falls apart.
Preheat the griddle – Medium-high heat ensures a golden outside without burning.
Butter in batches – Add butter between rounds for consistent flavor and browning.
Keep warm on the edge – Move finished slices to a cooler spot on the griddle while cooking the rest.
Customize toppings – Fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or even chocolate chips keep everyone happy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we make the French toast mix ahead of time?
Absolutely. The mason jar mixture can be made the night before and stored in a cooler or fridge until morning.

What’s the best bread for camping French toast?
Texas toast is our go-to because it’s thick and sturdy, but brioche or challah also work great.

How do we prevent French toast from sticking to the Blackstone?
Make sure the griddle is well-greased with butter or oil and fully preheated before adding the bread.
