Ingredients
Bread:
6 slices thick-cut bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
Egg Mixture:
3 large eggs, 1/2 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch of salt
For Cooking:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Serving:
Maple syrup and powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Cut the Bread: Cut each slice of bread into 3–4 equal sticks.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Cook French Toast Sticks: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, coating all sides, and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove and keep warm. Serve warm with maple syrup and powdered sugar.
Notes
- For a crispier exterior, bake the sticks at 375°F for 5 minutes after pan-frying.
- These freeze well—reheat in a toaster or oven.
