Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices of day-old French bread or brioche
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a wide bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fragrant. This custard soak will coat your French Toast Sticks perfectly.
  2. Cut the Bread: Slice the bread into even strips about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Using slightly stale bread helps it absorb the batter without falling apart.
  3. Soak the Sticks: Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 10 to 15 seconds to absorb just enough custard without becoming soggy.
  4. Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked bread sticks and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the sticks from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or toppings.

Notes

  • Use thick, slightly stale bread for best texture and absorption.
  • Preheat your pan to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  • Do not over-soak the bread to avoid sogginess or falling apart.
  • Serve French Toast Sticks immediately for optimal crispiness.
  • Customize toppings with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
