French Toast Sticks

  • Author: Lina
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Gluten Free (if using gluten-free bread)

Description

French Toast Sticks are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making a quick, fun, and flavorful breakfast or snack. Made with simple ingredients like thick bread, eggs, milk, and spices, these golden sticks are perfect for dipping in syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar and can be easily customized for dietary preferences or added flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices of brioche or Texas toast bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a wide bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined and fragrant. This creates the custard your bread will soak up.
  2. Cut the Bread: Slice each thick bread slice into 3 or 4 evenly sized sticks, ensuring they are not too thin to avoid breaking during cooking.
  3. Dip the Sticks: Submerge each bread stick into the batter, soaking just long enough to coat but not become soggy, about 10-15 seconds per side.
  4. Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sticks for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm: Place cooked French Toast Sticks on a plate, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve immediately with syrup, jam, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better batter absorption and sturdiness.
  • Avoid over-soaking the bread sticks to prevent sogginess.
  • Cook over medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Use a nonstick skillet for easier flipping and even crispiness.
  • Let sticks rest on a wire rack after cooking to maintain crunchiness.
