Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-cut bread (such as Texas toast or brioche)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Cut each slice of thick-cut bread into 3 or 4 thick sticks, making them easy to dip and cook evenly.
- Mix the Egg Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring the cooking surface is evenly coated and hot enough for frying.
- Dip the Bread Sticks: Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, making sure all sides are thoroughly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing on the skillet.
- Cook the French Toast Sticks: Arrange the coated bread sticks onto the hot skillet in batches. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, turning frequently to brown all sides evenly until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove the cooked sticks from the skillet and serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for a delightful breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Day-old bread works best as it holds up better during dipping and cooking without becoming soggy.
- French Toast Sticks can be frozen after cooking and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick and convenient meal.
