Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bread brioche, challah, or Texas toast
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or dairy alternative
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Prepare the Bread: Slice each piece of bread into three or four sticks, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Heat the Pan: Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt to coat the pan.
- Dip the Bread Sticks: Submerge each bread stick in the egg mixture, letting it soak briefly on each side to absorb the custard.
- Cook the Bread Sticks: Place the soaked sticks into the hot skillet, cooking in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden and crispy.
- Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: While the sticks are cooking, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- Coat the French Toast Sticks: Once cooked, immediately roll each stick in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them thoroughly.
- Serve: Enjoy the French toast sticks warm with your favorite dipping sauces and toppings.
