Notes
- Bread Selection Matters: Use thick, sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast to prevent the sticks from becoming too soggy when dipped in the egg mixture. Stale bread works best as it absorbs the liquid without falling apart.
- Cook Over Medium Heat: Maintain moderate heat to ensure the outside crisps up beautifully without burning, while the inside cooks through evenly.
- Coat While Warm: Roll the French toast sticks in the cinnamon-sugar mixture immediately after cooking for the best adhesion and flavor.
