To end this week of yummy "French" breakfasts, what could be better than French toast?


Take that, Burger King! I no longer require your services.


French Toast Sticks:


What You'll Need:

  • Two slices of bread.
  • One egg.
  • About 1/2 cup of milk.
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of cinnamon
How to Cook:
  • "Whisk" together the egg, milk, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl with a fork until combined REALLY well. The cinnamon may try to clump, and the egg white may resist whisking, but just do your best. The end result will be a light yellow mixture with the cinnamon blended in.
  • Slice your bread into "sticks"; this ends up being about three "sticks" per slice of bread.
  • Heat a frying pan on a medium heat (about a 5 on my stovetop); use a light amount of non-stick cooking spray.
  • LIGHTLY dip each side of one "stick" and place into the hot pan. Continue with two other "sticks" and fit them in the pan, too.
  • Cook each "stick" for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove from pan when done; there's no need to be over-browned or too crispy, but just make sure the egg is cooked all over.
  • Serve with a couple spoonfuls of jelly for dipping.
I know French toast is generally made with a loaf of French bread, baguette slices or even Cuban bread; I had none of those, but it's also easier to make "sticks" out of sandwich bread.

Some people might like to dip in syrup, but I find that to be a little heavy in the mornings. The topping/dipping is up to you!
