French Toast Sticks

This will quickly become your family’s favorite breakfast! This is French toast on steroids.  You will never go back to normal French Toast again!!!

Almost every Saturday, me and my husband go for a ride. It’s our time to be alone and have a chance to go over things that have happened through the week. It’s a really cheap date! We grab our Diet Coke from Sonic and a lot time we get get French Toast sticks too.

I always thought what a yummy little breakfast and a nice change from your ordinary breakfast. The other day we decided that we needed to try this at home and boy, am I glad we did!

It’s as easy as traditional French Toast but just has a twist! It’s battered and deep fried! My husband, who doesn’t usually love French Toast, decided this was such a decadent way to make this dish.

TIPS AND TRICKS

• If you are making this for a crowd, preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Place the sticks on a sheet pan  after fried and keep them warm while you cook the rest of the sticks.
• When serving for brunch, double the recipe.
• You can make these babies and then freeze them for a later date. Just make sure they are cooled all the way before placing in a airtight container. Then you can microwave them when needed.
• If you want to perk it up a little, add a little orange or lemon zest.
• Make sure your sticks are warm when you dip them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
• We used Texas toast but any heavy bread would work.
• We cut off the crust but you can leave it on if you prefer.
