Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-cut bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup extra maple syrup (for dipping)
Instructions
Slice the thick-cut bread into thirds to form sticks. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and allow it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, making sure all sides are evenly coated but not overly saturated.
Place the coated bread sticks onto the preheated skillet or griddle in a single layer, leaving a small gap between each piece. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the French toast sticks for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Add more butter to the skillet as needed between batches.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Optional: Dust the French toast sticks with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
Serve warm with extra maple syrup for dipping, and enjoy!
