These are easy enough for weekdays, fun enough for weekends, and made to get the whole crew gathered around the table.

Instructions to Cook French Toast Sticks with Maple Dip
Slice the bread cut each slice of bread into thirds (stick-style). Stale bread works best — it soaks up flavor without getting soggy.
Whisk the custard in a wide bowl, beat eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar until combined. You want a silky texture — no clumps.
Dip and sizzle heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil. Dip each stick into the egg mixture (don’t soak too long), then lay into the hot pan.
Cook until golden, 2–3 minutes per side. They should be crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.
Make the maple dip in a small bowl, whisk the maple syrup, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt until smooth. If it’s too thick, microwave for 10 seconds and stir.
Serve with flair, stack the sticks, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with the maple dip on the side.
Tips for Involving Kids in the Cooking Process
Kid-Approved Twist: Let your kids dip their own sticks it turns breakfast into a fun little event. Bonus: they’re more likely to eat what they helped make.
Variations for Different Dietary
Preferences or Restrictions
