French Toast Sticks

  • Prep Time: 10m
  • Cook Time: 10m

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 c whole milk
  • 1/8 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. plus ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon, divided
  • 1/3 c granulated sugar
  • 4 slices Hawaiian thick-cut bread, such as Sara Lee Artesano Hawaiian
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more as needed
  • warm maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon.
  2. Combine sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon on a plate and set aside.
  3. Take the Hawaiian bread slices and cut the crusts off using a serrated knife. Cut each piece of crustless bread into 3 “sticks”.
  4. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat with the oil in the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Coat each stick of bread in the egg mixture before placing it in the skillet.
  6. Repeat with 6 to 8 sticks at one time, keeping an inch of space in between the sticks so they are not crowded in the pan.
  7. Gently use tongs to flip and rotate each stick as it cooks, ensuring that all sides are golden brown.
  8. 8When thoroughly cooked, remove each stick and immediately roll it in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
  9. Set aside while you finish cooking the remaining sticks. You may need to add a bit of additional oil to the pan in between batches.
  10. Serve with maple syrup.
