French toast sticks are breakfast fun. Thick strips. Vanilla-cinnamon custard. Fried until golden. Dust with powdered sugar. Dip in syrup. 20 minutes. Breakfast just got finger-friendly. Adults love them too.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Cut Bread
Cut each slice of bread into 3-4 strips.
Make Custard
In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Soak
Dip each bread strip into custard, turning to coat. Let excess drip off.
Fry
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp butter.
Cook bread strips in batches, 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Add more butter as needed.
Serve
Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with maple syrup for dipping. Fun. Easy. Delicious.

Storage Notes
Best fresh. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 2 days. Reheat in a toaster, air fryer at 375°F for 4-5 minutes, or oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Freeze for 3 months — reheat from frozen. Never microwave (soggy sadness).
