Ingredients
  

For the Custard
  • 3 large Eggs Essential for creating a rich and fluffy texture in the sticks.
  • 1 cup Milk Whole milk adds creaminess, or swap with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free treat.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Sweetens the custard and helps create a caramelized coating; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds a warm, inviting flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Infuses each stick with a delightful warmth.
For the Bread
  • 6 slices Thick Sliced Brioche or Challah Offers a rich flavor; slightly stale bread absorbs custard better.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Used in the pan to achieve that golden, crispy exterior.
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Cinnamon Sugar Mixture A blend of sugar and cinnamon that gives a sweet touch.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing thick pieces of brioche or challah into sticks, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs with 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Quickly dip each bread stick into the custard, ensuring it is well-coated but not overly soaked.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt until foamy.
  5. Carefully add the soaked bread sticks to the skillet, cooking them for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  6. Once cooked, immediately roll the warm sticks in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon until thoroughly coated.
  7. Serve your Cinnamon French Toast Sticks hot off the skillet with a side of maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce.
