Equipment
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick slices bread Cut from a stale Brioche, Sourdough or Challah Loaf.
- 3 whole Eggs
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Butter Divided for cooking.
Instructions
- Start by cutting off the crusts from the slices of stale bread and cut each slice into three thick pieces lengthwise. Set aside the bread pieces.
- In a shallow dish, combine the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside for later use.
- In another shallow dish, crack the eggs and add the milk and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.
- Take the bread sticks and soak them in the egg mixture until fully saturated. Ensure they're moist but not falling apart.
- Melt a tablespoon of butter on LOW-MEDIUM heat in a skillet. The butter should sizzle gently.
- Add the soaked bread pieces to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side, about three to four minutes.
- Once golden, roll the sticks in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating all sides.
- If needed, add more butter to the skillet and continue cooking additional sticks until all are golden and delicious.
- Serve your warm French Toast Sticks with a side of syrup!
Notes
- Use stale bread: A sturdy stale bread will absorb all the delicious custard.
- Whisk well: To avoid white egg strands from forming, thoroughly whisk the egg into the milk.
- Use room temperature eggs: They incorporate better than cold eggs.
- Drizzle options: Pair with Cinnamon Buttermilk Syrup, Maple Syrup, Strawberry Sauce, Nutella Dip, or Yogurt Fruit Dip.
