Description
French Toast Sticks are an easy make-ahead breakfast that’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for freezing. Simply reheat and serve with maple syrup for a quick family-friendly breakfast.
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick bread, cut into strips
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined.
- Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the bread strips, turning frequently, until all sides are golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
- Let the French toast sticks cool completely.
- Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to freezer bags.
- Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or microwave and serve with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Texas toast or brioche works best for thick, fluffy French toast sticks.
