Ingredients

1 loaf of Texas toast (or any thick cut bread)
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the bread into ‘sticks’. Make three equal vertical cuts on each slice, aiming for about 1 inch wide.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined.
Prepare your baking sheet. Spray a large baking sheet (or two smaller ones) with cooking spray.
Dip each stick of bread into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and place them on the baking sheet. Repeat until all sticks are coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip each stick halfway through to ensure both sides turn a beautiful golden brown. If they need more time, return them to the oven for a few more minutes.
Cool on the baking sheet: Let the sticks cool. You can enjoy them immediately or freeze them.
To freeze, once cooled completely, place the tray directly in the freezer for about 1.5 hours to prevent them from clumping together.
After 1.5 hours, transfer the sticks into a freezer bag or container and store them back in the freezer.
To reheat, microwave the sticks for about 1.5 minutes until they’re warmed through. Serve with your favorite syrup.

How to Serve Freezer French Toast Sticks

These French toast sticks are best served warm. You can pair them with maple syrup for a classic taste or try them with fruit compote, honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar. For an added twist, serve with whipped cream or yogurt on the side for dipping.

How to Store Freezer French Toast Sticks

To keep your Freezer French Toast Sticks fresh, store them in a well-sealed freezer bag or container. They can last in the freezer for up to three months. Always ensure they are completely cooled before storing to prevent freezer burn.

Tips to Make Freezer French Toast Sticks

For a sweeter taste, top the sticks with a sprinkle of sugar or cinnamon before baking.
Use different types of bread, such as brioche or challah, for added flavor and richness.
If you want extra flavor, consider adding nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the egg mixture.

Variations

Savory Option: Add a dash of cheese and some cooked bacon bits to the egg mixture for a savory version.

Whole Wheat Option: Substitute regular bread with whole wheat for a healthier version.
