FRENCH TOAST STICKS🍞🍁

Ingredients

• 8 slices White Sandwich Bread (day‑old, sliced into 1‑inch sticks)
• 2 Large Egg (beaten)
• 0.5 cup Whole Milk (room temperature)
• 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar (divided – 1 tbsp for batter, 1 tbsp for coating)
• 1.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon (divided – 1 tsp for batter, 0.5 tsp for coating)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted)
• 1 Pinch of Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Toast Bread

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice each slice of bread into 4‑inch sticks and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 5‑7 minutes until the sticks are lightly golden and crisp.

3. Heat Skillet

   Place the skillet over medium heat and add the melted butter. Allow the butter to foam but not brown, about 2 minutes.

4. Dip and Cook Sticks

   Working in batches, dip each toasted bread stick into the batter, letting excess drip off, then lay it in the hot skillet. Cook 2 minutes per side, or until each side is deep golden‑brown and the interior is puffed and fluffy.

5. Cinnamon‑Sugar Toss

   Combine the remaining 1 tbsp sugar with 0.5 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. While the sticks are still hot, toss them in the cinnamon‑sugar mixture until evenly coated.

6. Serve

   Transfer the French toast sticks to a serving plate. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of extra cinnamon‑sugar if desired.
