FREEZER-PREP FRENCH TOAST STICKS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180˚C).
• Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Stack and slice the Texas toast into thirds.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.

BAKED FRENCH TOAST STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl whisk together sugar and cinnamon, set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla and salt until very well blended. Cut each slice of bread into even three strips (you can layer a few slices to cut several at a time). Dip each portion (I usually dip 2 sticks at a time) into egg mixture then lift and let excess run off and transfer to prepared baking sheet (they will have to fit closely together but leave just a little space between them).
• Using a basting brush, brush tops of french toast sticks lightly with 1 Tbsp of the melted butter. Sprinkle tops evenly with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven for 13 minutes. Remove from oven, flip french toast sticks to opposite side and brush tops lightly with remaining 1 Tbsp melted butter and sprinkle evenly with remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Return to oven and continue to bake until cooked through, about 13 - 18 minutes longer. Let cool for a few minutes. Brush lightly with a little more melted butter if desired and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.

BAKED FRENCH TOAST STICKS (FREEZER-FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease it generously with cooking spray.
• Cut each slice of bread into three sticks widthwise.
• In a large shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla extract. Dip each stick of bread in the egg mixture, coating it on all sides, then shake off the excess and arrange it on the baking sheet. Repeat the dipping process, arranging the French toast sticks on the baking sheet so that they aren't touching.
• Bake the French toast sticks for 12 minutes then flip them once, spray them lightly with cooking spray and return them to the oven for an additional 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked through.
• Remove the French toast sticks from the oven and serve warm with maple syrup.
