Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 4 thick-cut slices of brioche or Texas toast bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine (use dairy-free for vegan version)
  • Maple syrup or honey, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Cut thick-cut bread into 1-inch wide sticks, about 3 to 4 inches long, making sure all sticks are uniform in size for even cooking.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Soak the Sticks: Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 20 seconds to absorb enough batter without becoming soggy.
  4. Heat the Pan: Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter, evenly coating the surface to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Sticks: Place soaked bread sticks onto the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove French Toast Sticks from the pan, let cool slightly, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as maple syrup or honey.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better soaking without falling apart.
  • Do not over-soak the bread sticks to maintain crispiness.
  • Cut bread sticks evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Cook over low to medium heat to avoid burning.
  • Using a non-stick pan helps achieve a perfect crust and ease flipping.
  • For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond, soy, or oat milk and butter with plant-based margarine.
  • The batter is best prepared fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
