I bought a loaf of Italian bread, one of those loafs they sell in a
paper sack that isn't sealed. I had some plans for it but never
followed through so tonight I made up some slices of french toast that
included not just eggs and milk, but some egg nog, too. I froze the
slices to cook up later, probably Christmas morning.

I would have made bread pudding.

Sounds great -- French or Italian bread makes the best French toast.

Not only the egg nog, try a couple big spoons full of pumpkin in there
as well.

At the restaurant, during the Holidays, we made pumpkin & spice
pancakes and topped them with pumpkin seeds roasted with sugar,
served with a rum/maple syrup (the real stuff) and a knob of honey
butter.

While I admire the creative effort, seems like a strange combination of
flavours. Rum/maple syrup *and* honey butter... could anyone even tell
there was pumpkin in the pancake batter?

I bought a loaf of day old bread at the bakery last week. I let it sit
out for another day. I made some bread pudding with it one day and the
rest went into the freezer. On Sunday I took some out and let it sit out
for a couple hours and made French toast. Yesterday I took a couple
pieces out to be used for stuffing for pork tenderloin.

I think it would have a much better texture if you had frozen it after
cooking.

Absolutely... freezing raw french toast when thawed it'll be like it's
partially digested and puked up. Cook french toast before freezing,
they sell frozen french toast that's heated from frozen in a toaster.

I thought of that after they were frozen on the cookie sheet and I was
transferring to a ziplock bag. But I figure if I put them frozen onto a
hot pan, they will thaw by the time the first side is cooked. We'll
see.
