Its been awhile!
We have added another baby to the household and I have returned to college full time while working part time. I'll be adding lots of new recipes and household tricks for everyone.
Today I want to share my easy French Toast Stick recipe.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
I use 1 loaf of 3/4 inch sliced bread. You can use french bread, brioche, Texas toast, whatever is handy. Wonder type breads get mushy, a thicker denser bread works best. Cut the bread slices into thirds so you have some nice kid sized strips.
Put all the bread into a zip top bag. How many you get depends on how thick your bread is. I feed 3 adults and two small children with a few left over.
In a bowl whisk together
1.5 cups milk,
4 large eggs,
1 teaspoon vanilla,
a pinch of nutmeg.
Pour the custard mixture into the bag with the bread pieces.
Close and lay on counter while you prep the pan
Grease a baking sheet with butter or margarine. Do not skip this step, it WILL stick.
Turn over the bread bag so the other side soaks.
Put 1 tablespoon sugar with a pinch of cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix together.
Carefully open the bread bag and lay the pieces out on your greased baking sheet.
sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes until golden brown. Turn pieces over and bake an additional 10 minutes.
Serve with maple syrup or yogurt.
Yummy!
I bag the leftovers and freeze. On weekday mornings I can just pop a few in the toaster for the boys for breakfast.
