Serve Warm
Omit the sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add a pinch of black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the egg mixture. Serve with ketchup or a cheese sauce.
After dipping in the egg mixture, dredge the sticks in crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs before frying for an extra crispy texture.
Add 1 teaspoon of orange or lemon zest to the custard batter for a bright, fresh flavor that pairs well with berries.
Spread a thin layer of chocolate-hazelnut spread between two thin slices of bread, press together, then cut into sticks and proceed with the recipe.
The carbohydrates from the bread provide a rapid source of energy, making this a filling breakfast to help you start your day.
Eggs and milk in the custard batter contribute protein, which is essential for muscle maintenance and helps promote a feeling of fullness.
A serving of six French toast sticks contains approximately 450-500 calories, not including maple syrup or other toppings. The exact number can vary based on the type of bread and milk used.
French toast sticks are best considered an indulgent treat rather than a health food. They are high in refined carbohydrates and fat. To make a healthier version, use whole-wheat bread, low-fat milk, and consider baking them instead of frying.
Thick-sliced, sturdy, and enriched breads like brioche, challah, or Texas toast are ideal. Their firm structure holds up well to the custard, resulting in a creamy interior and crispy exterior.
To avoid sogginess, use slightly stale bread, do not oversoak the sticks in the custard (a quick dip is sufficient), and ensure your skillet is preheated to the correct medium temperature so they begin to crisp immediately.
Absolutely. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the dipped sticks on a greased baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
Allow the sticks to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster, air fryer, or oven until warm and crisp.
