Ingredients
Scale
8 slices thick-cut Texas toast
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Unsalted butter, for cooking
Cinnamon Sugar,
Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
I prefer to use day old bread, or slightly dried out bread. Cut each slice of Texas toast into four sticks. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and vanilla. Dip each piece of bread in the egg mixture, making sure to coat all sides of the bread stick.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, place several of the coated sticks in a single layer in the pan. (Do not overcrowd the pan.) Cook until golden brown on one side then flip and continue cooking until the sticks are golden brown and slightly crisped on all edges.
Immediately after cooking add the french toast sticks to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss to coat.
Serve immediately with maple syrup for dipping.
French toast sticks are best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and can be gently reheated in the micro or toaster
*To freeze the Baked French Toast Sticks, let them cool, then place onto a baking sheet and into the freezer until frozen solid. Transfer to a freezer bag then microwave for 30 seconds to a minute to reheat. Enjoy!.
