Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Sticks
- 6 slices thick-cut bread (Texas toast or brioche)
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk (whole or dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil, for cooking
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the bread sticks: Cut each slice of bread into 3 or 4 thick sticks, making them easy to handle and perfect for dipping and frying.
- Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Dip the bread sticks: Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated, but allow the excess to drip off to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the sticks: Place the dipped sticks onto the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning carefully until all sides are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the French toast sticks warm with maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, bake the sticks at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes after pan-frying.
- Freeze leftovers and reheat in the toaster or oven for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
- Great for meal prep or kids’ snacks, offering convenience and taste.
