Breakfast Tailgate Recipe. I recently shared a breakfast tailgate party and I couldn’t be more excited to share one of our favorite breakfast recipes…modified for easy tailgating! I am also SUPER EXCITED to be hosting a small tailgate recipe blog hop with Tastefully Frugal today too! {Scroll to the bottom for links to their delicious recipes}

My family loves my french toast. It was a recipe my mom shared with me, and I tweaked to make my own. We enjoy it on weekends, and even for dinner.

Our traditional recipe is amazing on its own, but I wanted to make it a little different for tailgating, so I sliced thick bread into four “sticks” and dipped them into the french toast egg wash, then I fried them in a pan of oil. They were dusted with powdered sugar and served with fresh fruit and yogurt for dinner, and the leftovers were stored in a freezer bag in the freezer until our tailgating party!

The morning of our party, I popped the bag of pre-made french toast sticks in the cooler, and then reheated them on our portable griddle. They were just as good reheated as they were when they were fresh!
