When my husband goes camping with his buddies I sometimes buy a loaf of thick sliced french bread, do the whole thing up as already-cooked French toast, and stack it back in the bag. Keeps well either frozen or just refrigerated- depends on how long you want to keep it.
Throw a couple slices in the frypan/griddle to reheat after you've cooked your bacon, or if you have a gas grill just put them on there.
We never have ac power but for those who do and want to reheat that way, I recommend a plain ol' toaster over the microwave, which I think makes bread things tough.
Similar on my end except on special occasions I replace the milk/cream with melted vanilla or rum raisin ice cream and freeze it in an aluminum pan. When you place the French toast back in the bag do you flash freeze it first or put say waxpaper pieces in between the toast slices?
I've found that banana pancakes freeze nicely with lil rubbery texture. I'm trying to borrow a waffle maker from someone to make frozen waffles cuz I see no reason to buy an appliance I'll only use once in 5 years, lol.
