Description
Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside—these French toast sticks are dusted with cinnamon and perfect for dipping in maple syrup. A breakfast favorite made easy.
Ingredients
4 slices thick bread (Texas toast or brioche recommended)
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Butter or oil, for frying
Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Cut each bread slice into thick strips (about 3–4 sticks per slice).
Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture for a few seconds, turning to coat both sides.
Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the dipped bread sticks and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or dusted with powdered sugar.
Notes
Best with day-old or slightly dried bread for better texture.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the egg mixture for seasonal variation.
Make extra and freeze: reheat in oven or air fryer for quick breakfasts.
