These French toast sticks, flavoured with vanilla and cinnamon, are a fun and easy breakfast finger food. They are lightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and ready in just 30 minutes.
Cut the crust off all four sides of the bread and cut each slice into 3 1-inch sticks.
Break the eggs into a large, shallow bowl and whisk until they are well blended.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla and whisk until you have a smooth custard.
Whisk in the cinnamon and powdered sugar. It's ok if there are a few powdered sugar lumps.
Heat a large, non-stick griddle over medium heat and brush with butter.
Dip each stick in the custard making sure all the sides and edges are coated then place on the griddle. Repeat with remaining sticks, working in batches if necessary.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly golden brown then flip and cook an additional 5 minutes to toast the other side.
Move to a plate and dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar and serve with maple syrup.
