  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 slices of hearty bread, cut into sticks
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil, for cooking
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), for serving
  • Pure maple syrup or honey, for drizzling
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
  3. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Place the coated bread sticks on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove the French toast sticks from the skillet and place them on a serving plate.
  5. Arrange a colorful assortment of fresh berries on the side of the plate.
  6. Drizzle maple syrup or honey over the French toast sticks and berries, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Opt for thick slices of bread to ensure that the French toast sticks hold their shape and don’t become soggy. Feel free to customize your berry selection based on what’s in season for the freshest and most flavorful experience. Serve with a side of crisp bacon or turkey sausage for a complete meal and enjoy!
