Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick slices of bread (sourdough, brioche, or French loaf preferred)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Cut each slice of bread into 4 equal-sized strips, creating 'sticks' that are easy to hold and eat on the go.
Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated but not overly saturated (to prevent sogginess). Allow any excess mixture to drip off before placing on a plate.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet, swirling to coat the surface.
Place the dipped bread sticks in the skillet, leaving a small space between each piece. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the bread sticks for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
Once cooked, transfer the French Toast sticks to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess butter.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining bread sticks, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.
Allow the French Toast sticks to cool slightly before serving. If desired, drizzle with maple syrup or honey for added sweetness, or pack them into an airtight container for easy transport.
