Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Cut each slice of bread into three equal strips, forming your French toast sticks.
Cooking
  1. Melt half of the butter in a large non-stick skillet or on a griddle over medium heat.
  2. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated but not overly saturated.
  3. Place the coated sticks in the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread sticks until all are cooked through.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can lightly toast the bread slices before dipping them in the egg mixture. Adjust the amount of sugar and cinnamon to your personal preference. These French Toast Sticks can also be made ahead of time and reheated in a toaster oven or microwave for a quick breakfast on the go.
