→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 slices thick-cut Texas toast
02 -
4 large eggs
03 -
1 cup heavy cream
04 -
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
05 -
1 tablespoon sugar
06 -
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
07 -
Unsalted butter, for cooking
08 -
Maple syrup, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut each slice of Texas toast into four sticks. Set aside.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla.
03 -
Dip each piece of bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides. Shake off excess, and arrange coated bread on a plate or baking dish.
04 -
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, place the coated sticks in the pan in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook until golden brown on one side, flip, and cook until all edges are crisp and golden brown.
05 -
Serve immediately with maple syrup for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Day-old bread that's slightly dried out works best to absorb the custard.
02 -
Thick bread with sturdy crusts holds its shape better for this recipe.
03 -
To freeze, allow cooked sticks to cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Reheat using a toaster oven or air fryer for crisp results.
