Culinary Adventure - French Toast Sticks

Hi everyone!

I hope all of you are enjoying the culinary adventure postings so far. This next post is great for tasty and relatively simple breakfast: French Toast Sticks. For my first attempt, they did not turn out perfect, but they were still super YUMMY!!





So the first mistake was not using Texas toast as specified in the recipe. Unfortunately, we did not have any thick bread, so I ended up using normal sandwich style bread. This made the sticks become less stable after I had dipped them into the cinnamon-egg mixture, and they became very difficult to flip over. The second problem stemmed from the fact that this was the very first time I had tried to make French Toast. I did not realize that the egg cooked quickly and should have been on low heat. Sadly, I burnt a few of the pieces. BUT, the majority came out looking pretty good and the taste was INCREDIBLE! I added some powdered sugar to the top to give it just a little bit of a sweeter taste and make it have that 'restaurant style' look. 

The only major modification to the recipe was that I used a substitute for the heavy cream to make it slightly more healthy. Instead of 1 cup heavy cream, you can use 1 cup of skim milk and 2 tablespoons of corn starch mixed together. With the use of Texas toast next time, I think this will be a more common weekend breakfast in our home! 



Til' next time!
