French Toast Sticks

French Toast Sticks Ingredients

• Texas toast or thick cut brioche – You want a good thick sturdy bread so the sticks hold their shape.
• Eggs – Medium or large eggs
• Milk – Whole milk is preferred for this recipe as it will provide a richer flavor and thicker custard.
• Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon or cinnamon powder.
• Vanilla extract – You’ll want to look for real vanilla extract, not imitation.
• Salt – Kosher salt is preferred.
• Nutmeg – Nutmeg gives a beautiful warmth to recipes.  Look for ground nutmeg near the cinnamon in your spice aisle.
• Brown sugar – Light brown sugar.
• Toppings and dips – Powdered sugar, maple syrup, strawberries, strawberry jam, chocolate sauce. Or for a savory breakfast dip, try our blender hollandaise sauce.

How Do You Make French Toast Sticks

⭐ First, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, salt, nutmeg and brown sugar.

⭐ Next, slice each piece of bread into 5 pieces finger sized, dip in egg mix and soak bread briefly.

⭐ Then, deep fry slices until golden brown.

⭐ Finally, arrange on plate like a Jenga structure. Serve all the sauces on the side. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

🟢 We used 2 cups of vegetable oil in a skillet to fry the French Toast Sticks (medium heat). It took about 3 minutes on each side to reach golden perfection.

🟢 The egg mixture recipe produces enough for about 5 thick slices of bread.

🟢 Try mixing things up by making this with banana bread, apple bread, or our French bread recipe!

Preparation

Can you make the French Toast Sticks egg mixture (custard) ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the egg mixture or custard in advance.  Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.  If it thickens, slowly whisk in milk until desired consistency is reached.

Leftovers and Storage

How do you store leftover French Toast Sticks

To store leftover French Toast Sticks, allow to come to room temperature then place in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.

How do you reheat French Toast Sticks

To reheat, bake in the oven or toasted oven at 350F for about ten minutes, or until warm and toasted.  Alternately you could reheat on the stove top in a lightly greased skillet over medium heat, or in the microwave for 20 – 30 seconds.

Can you freeze French Toast Sticks

You can freeze the leftovers by storing in an airtight container.  In an upright freezer they will be best eaten within three months, in a deep freezer they will be best eaten in six months.

Reheat frozen french toast sticks by thawing overnight in the refrigerator and then following the instructions set forth above.

Suggested Tools

• 15″ Cast iron pan – This. Pan. Is. Huge.  Literally massive. I have two and they’re sooooooo amazing.  I love using these on my grill to make a beautifully seared steak or some yummy Old Bay shrimp. And in my oven or on the stovetop when the weather’s no good for grilling!
• Electric mixer – I love love love love love (x’s 100) my stand mixer.  Really and truly.  But my daily work horse is this handheld electric mixer.  It even comes in allll the colors.  Which, yay!
