Homemade French Toast Sticks Recipe
When cooking this homemade french toast recipe, you will be using a skillet on the stove. We have tried doing baked french toast sticks with these and they do not come out anywhere near as tasty. So we stick with what works and make skillet french toast sticks.
Best Bread for French Toast Sticks
Homemade french toast sticks are really easy to make. If you can not find texas toast bread then you can easily substitute wheat bread or white bread when making this homemade french toast sticks recipe. Your french toast sticks just will not be as thick as ours are, but they will still taste amazing!
We use texas toast bread to make our french toast sticks because it is double the thickness of regular bread. The thickness soaks up more of the egg and milk mixture that you dip them in. Texas Toast also has a squarer shape then regular bread, so sometimes when making french toast with texas toast bread it is referred to as Texas style french toast.
If you are making french toast sticks with regular bread instead of making french toast sticks with texas toast bread then you will have thinner french toast sticks. It will still come out tasty, but I would suggest upping the amount of bread slices that you use.
How to freeze french toast sticks
I make a large batch of these awesome Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Sticks Recipe and then keep french toast sticks frozen in the freezer for the kids to heat up in the mornings. It really makes life so much easier when we can have tasty breakfasts that are easy to just heat up.
Personally I like to make a few batches of these texas toast french toast sticks and then freeze them for easy breakfasts. To freeze french toast sticks just cook them following the directions and then let them cool.
Once they are cool spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and lay the homemade french toast on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 2 hours until the french toast sticks are fully frozen. Then using a spatula remove them from the baking sheet and place in a gallon sized freezer bag.
If you are making more then one batch of these you will need more freezer bags. Then place the frozen french toast sticks in the freezer. To reheat the french toast sticks, put them on a plate and microwave them. For my microwave it takes about 1 minute for 6 french toast sticks.
French Toast Sticks Ingredients
- 8 slices Texas toast Bread
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup granulated sugar
How to Make French Toast Sticks
Cut each of the texas toast slices in to thirds, while doing so heat up your saucepan on the stove on medium head and coat with a small amount of pam spray (or whatever cooking spray you use).
In a large bowl mix the eggs and milk together with a wisk. In a smaller bowl mix the cinnamon and sugar until well blended.
Dip your slices of texas toast into the egg/milk mixture and place in your pan.
Cook until side is golden brown and then flip to cook the other side. As soon as you remove them from the pan put them into the cinnamon/sugar mixture bowl and swirl them around to coat.
Continue doing the same until all your french toast is made.
