Jack In The Box French Toast Sticks Recipe
Growing up, I was always mesmerized by those mornings that called for a special breakfast. My family often grabbed fast food after a fun outing, and every so often, I would select those irresistible French toast sticks.
Equipment
- skillet/griddle
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract for a touch of flavor
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon for a warm aromatic note
- 4 slices thick-cut white bread
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk everything together until it’s well-blended and smooth. You want to ensure that the sugar dissolves into the mixture to avoid any grainy bites.
Step 2: Slice the Bread
- Cut your thick bread into strips, about 1-2 inches wide. If you’re using regular bread, feel free to stack two slices together. This dish is all about the dip, so embrace some variation!
Step 3: Dip and Soak
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to grease the pan. Next, dunk each strip into the egg mixture. Allow it to soak for just a second to absorb the flavors.
Step 4: Cook the Sticks
- Place the soaked sticks onto your heated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, turning them until they are golden brown and crispy. They should smell delightful as they cook!
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once cooked, transfer the sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Serve warm with a side of syrup, dust them with powdered sugar, or drizzle with honey. Enjoy the delightful crunch and sweetness!
