Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Sticks
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
Optional Toppings
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Cut each slice of thick-cut bread into 3 or 4 equal sticks to create uniform pieces for cooking.
- Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter evenly to ensure the sticks don’t stick and cook properly.
- Dip the bread sticks: Quickly dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, coating all sides thoroughly but without soaking for too long to prevent sogginess.
- Cook the sticks: Place the coated bread sticks onto the heated skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the French toast sticks from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of optional toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, lightly toast the bread before dipping into the egg mixture.
- These French toast sticks can be frozen after cooking. To reheat, warm them in the oven or toaster for a quick breakfast option.
