Pin ItI love to make these with my kids when I have some extra time to cook breakfast in the morning.

How to Make French Toast Sticks
- Cut the Bread and Make the Batter. Slice the brioche into finger-sized sticks. Whisk milk, eggs, vanilla, maple syrup, nutmeg, and salt in a shallow bowl. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a separate bowl.
- Dip and Cook. Heat butter or oil in a skillet. Dip bread sticks into the egg mixture, then cook in batches 6–8 minutes, turning until golden on all sides.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar. Roll hot sticks in cinnamon sugar. Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
Storage, Reheating and Freezing Instructions
To Store: Let the French toast sticks cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.
To Reheat: Warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–10 minutes or in a toaster oven to keep them crisp.
To Freeze: Arrange the cooled french toast sticks in a single layer on a tray and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months.
