Ingredients

For the French Toast Sticks

8 slices thick cut Texas toast Offers a sturdy base that holds up beautifully when dipped.
4 large eggs Adds protein and helps create a custard-like texture.
1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with whole milk for a lighter option.
2.5 teaspoons cinnamon The star spice for warming flavor.
1 Tablespoon sugar Can be replaced with a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie option.
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla for the best taste.
to taste unsalted butter For cooking; can be replaced with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
to taste maple syrup Ultimate complement; can substitute with agave or sugar-free syrup.

Method

Preparation

Cut each slice of Texas toast into four sticks.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Cooking

Dip each stick into the egg mixture, coating all sides and shaking off excess.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add unsalted butter, allowing it to melt fully.
Cook the coated sticks in a single layer until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until crisped on all edges.

Serving

Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.

Notes

For a cinnamon-sugar crust, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on sticks while cooking. These sticks are freezer-friendly; freeze in a single layer and store in a freezer bag for later use.
