Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Cut each slice of bread into 3-4 long strips, creating stick-like pieces.
- In a wide, shallow mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off briefly.
- Place the coated bread sticks onto the heated skillet, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy, turning carefully with a spatula.
- Remove French toast sticks from the skillet and place on a serving plate. Let cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Dust with additional ground cinnamon if desired, and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best texture, use thick slices of bread like brioche or Texas toast. They soak up the egg mixture beautifully without falling apart.
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to experiment with different spices! A pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract can add an extra layer of flavor to your French toast sticks.
- Keep Them Warm: If you’re making a large batch, keep the cooked sticks warm in an oven set to low heat while you finish cooking the rest.
- Perfectly Crispy: Make sure your skillet is adequately preheated before adding the bread sticks. This ensures a golden-brown crust that’s crispy and delicious.
- Dipping Delight: Serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as chocolate syrup, fruit compote, or whipped cream for a fun twist that both kids and adults will love!
