Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare the bread by cutting each slice into 3-4 equal stick-like strips, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage on all sides and allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the coated bread sticks onto the heated skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- While toast sticks are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by combining yogurt, chopped strawberries, and honey in a small bowl, mashing strawberries slightly to release their juices.
- Once all toast sticks are cooked, transfer to a serving plate and dust lightly with additional cinnamon if desired.
- Serve warm French toast sticks immediately alongside the strawberry yogurt dipping sauce.
Tips
- Bread Selection: Use slightly stale bread for better absorption of the egg mixture. Day-old bread works perfectly and prevents soggy results.
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your skillet is at medium heat to achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior without burning.
- Even Coating: When dipping bread sticks, let them sit briefly in the egg mixture to absorb flavors, but don't soak too long to prevent falling apart.
- Sauce Consistency: For a smoother dipping sauce, blend the strawberries before mixing with yogurt and honey.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the egg mixture and cut bread the night before to save morning preparation time.
- Serving Suggestion: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for an extra indulgent touch.
