French Toast Sticks

Instructions

1
Prepare the bread by cutting off all of the crust and then cutting each slice into square(ish) sticks. See video and photos for reference.
2
In a shallow bowl or pie dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add in the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt and whisk to combine.
3
In a small bowl big enough for a stick of the bread to fit in, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, once hot, spray with cooking spray.
5
Working in batches, dip the bread in the milk mixture. I dip it in quickly (you don’t want it to soak up too much of the liquid), turn it over, and give it another quick dip. Place in the hot pan.
6
Cook the french toast for 2 minutes per side, flipping ¼ every couple of minutes, for a total of about 8 minutes. Remove to a plate.
7
Spray each stick lightly with cooking spray and then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
8
Serve immediately with maple syrup and ENJOY

Notes

1
Storing leftovers. Store any leftover sticks in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 days.
2
Reheating. For best results reheat these in the toaster, air fryer, oven or toaster oven. If you reheat them in the microwave, they’ll still be tasty but not very crispy.
3
Freezing. Freeze the cooked French toast sticks in a single layer on a baking pan. Once they are frozen firm you can slide them into a zip top freezer bag to store for up to 2 months in the freezer. You can then reheat from frozen.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Day-Old Bread is Essential 🍞
    Use bread that's 1-2 days old, as fresh bread absorbs too much egg mixture and becomes soggy instead of achieving that crispy-tender texture.
  • Soak Strategically for Optimal Texture 🥄
    Dip each bread stick for exactly 2-3 seconds per side in the egg mixture—just enough to coat without oversaturation, ensuring a custardy center and crispy exterior.
  • Cinnamon Sugar Coating Technique ✨
    Mix your cinnamon sugar on a shallow plate and roll the egg-coated bread immediately while still wet, pressing gently so the coating adheres evenly and creates a caramelized crust.
  • Medium Heat Prevents Burning 🔥
    Cook at medium (not medium-high) heat for 2-3 minutes per side to allow the inside to cook through while the cinnamon sugar caramelizes without burning.
  • Nutmeg Elevates the Flavor Profile 🌟
    Don't skip the ground nutmeg in the egg mixture—it adds sophisticated warmth and complexity that distinguishes homemade French toast from mediocre versions.
