Ingredients
Makes 1 serving
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 icing sugar
- 1/4 milk
- 2 maple syrup
- 1 brown sugar
- 1/4 ground cinnamon
- 1/4 nutmeg
- 8 butter
Method
In a shallow dish, beat together the eggs, sugar, milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg with a fork until well blended.
Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture, coating completely.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
Cook the bread strips a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden, adding more butter as needed.
Serve immediately or cool completely, flash freeze on cookie sheet, then store in a labeled freezer bag.
To serve: reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave until heated through.
Cook's notes
- Use sturdy bread like Texas toast or brioche for best results.
- For extra crispiness, bake the sticks on a wire rack in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes after cooking.
- Double the batch and freeze extra for easy weekday breakfasts.
