Ingredients
BREAD French toast sticks are a great way to use up leftover bread! Choose stale bread that is thick and dense like Homemade French Bread, brioche, sourdough, or even Homemade Challah Bread. In a pinch, frozen Texas toast can be used, and can even be cooked from a frozen state!
CUSTARD Eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, & cinnamon are mixed together to create the creamy, flavorful custard.
VARIATIONS Add some orange juice or orange zest for a bright, citrusy flavor!
How to Make French Toast Sticks
- Cut thick slices of bread into four sticks, about 1″ each. Set aside.
- Whisk custard (milk/egg mixture per recipe below) and dip each French toast stick into the batter.
- Place in a buttered skillet and cook until lightly browned.
Recipe Tips!
- Make French toast sticks in advance and keep them in the refrigerator in a zippered bag until they are ready to be reheated and served.
- For best results, reheat in a toaster oven or under the broiler for a couple minutes. Sprinkle on a little extra cinnamon sugar and serve!
- Freeze fried French toast sticks in a zippered bag for about 4 weeks. Write the date on the outside.
