Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices thick bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cut each slice of bread into 3 or 4 even sticks.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar (if using), and salt until well combined.
  3. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides. Let the excess drip off.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil.
  5. Place the dipped sticks onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, turning as needed.
  6. Remove from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use brioche or Texas toast for the best texture. Day-old bread works best to prevent sogginess.

  • For crispier sticks, bake on a wire rack instead of directly on the tray.

  • This recipe freezes and reheats beautifully—perfect for busy mornings.

  • Don’t skip the vanilla and cinnamon; they add warmth and depth.

  • Adjust sugar and spices to fit your family’s tastes.

  • Serve with maple syrup, yogurt, or fruit compote for dipping.

  • Want extra crunch? Sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking to caramelize.
