Ingredients
  

6 slices of thick-cut bread (such as challah or brioche)

3 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sweetness)

Pinch of salt

1 cup crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs (for coating)

2 tablespoons melted butter (for greasing the baking sheet)

Maple syrup and fresh fruit (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with melted butter.

    Prepare the Bread: Cut each slice of thick bread into 4 equal sticks.

      Make the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined.

        Coat the Bread Sticks: Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds to absorb the liquid. Let any excess drip off.

          Crust Coating: Roll the soaked bread sticks in crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated French toast sticks onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning the sticks halfway through the baking time to ensure they become golden brown and crispy on all sides.

                Serve: Remove the sticks from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with warm maple syrup and fresh fruit on the side for dipping.
