French Toast Cinnamon Sticks Recipe

Individual portion

Ingredients
  • 2 slices of  Bread (whole wheat, multi-grain, gluten-free, white…your choice)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp 2% milk
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp butter
Instructions
  1. Beat eggs in a bowl.
  2. Add milk.
  3. Add dash of cinnamon.
  4. Mix well to combine ingredients.
  5. Turn on stove to medium heat. In frying pan, melt butter.
  6. Place one slice of bread into egg mixture. Turn over. Coat both sides with egg mixture. Transfer bread to frying pan.
  7. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.

Aside: when I was little…my Mom used to cut my toast into sticks (she called them soldiers). Somehow, eating a stick of toast was much more fun than eating regular toast.

    French toast is awesome, and if you have a waffle maker, cook the bread in that instead of the fry pan, they are so good done in the waffle maker, I do this at least twice a month for my granddaughter!!

    My Mom called them soldiers too 😀 I wonder where that came from? Both the casserole and the french toast soldiers sound yummy. I love the idea of having them as a snack although I’d probably gobble them up before I even get to work

    Make-Ahead French Toast Casserole sounds nice, always good when you can prepare ahead of time. I probably douse mine in maple syrup, not sure if bacon would still fit then flavour-wise. 🙂
