Baked French Toast Sticks

Everyone in the family will love these baked French toast sticks for breakfast. They taste great and can be frozen for later use. The outside is crunchy and the inside is soft. Theyre great for dipping in maple syrup.

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of thick-cut bread
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Cooking spray or melted butter, for greasing
• Maple syrup, for serving optional

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Cut each slice of bread into 3 equal strips, creating sticks

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt

Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring its fully coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and crispy

Let them cool slightly before serving with maple syrup, if desired

To freeze for later use, allow the sticks to cool completely, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking

Label and freeze

To reheat, simply pop the frozen sticks in a toaster or oven until heated through
