Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices of day-old brioche or Texas toast
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. This custard mixture infuses the toast sticks with flavor and moisture.
  2. Slice the Bread into Sticks: Cut each slice of bread into three or four evenly sized sticks to create easy-to-hold pieces perfect for dipping and snacking.
  3. Soak the Bread Sticks: Dip each bread stick quickly into the egg mixture, coating thoroughly but avoiding oversaturation to keep them from becoming soggy.
  4. Cook the Sticks: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Place the soaked bread sticks flat in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside while soft inside.
  5. Serve Warm: Transfer the cooked French Toast Sticks to a plate and serve immediately with syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread to absorb the custard without falling apart.
  • Dip bread sticks quickly to ensure they remain moist but not soggy.
  • Cook over medium heat to achieve a perfectly crispy crust without burning.
  • For a better crust, consider cooking with a blend of butter and a little oil to prevent burning.
  • If cooking in large batches, keep cooked sticks warm in a low oven to maintain crispiness.
