French Toast Sticks - OAMC
"I got this basic recipe from another site but changed it a little for my family. The original recipe called for orange juice as the liquid instead of milk. I also added the vanilla as we think it gives it a nice flavor."

- Dip sticks into egg mixture and place on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- If there is any dip left, you can drizzle it over the sticks.
- Bake for 25 minutes on middle rack of oven. Turn halfway through baking time.
- Allow to cool.

This is really great to have on hand in the freezer.<br/>I would reccomend not cutting the bread into 1/3's until after baking. The middle piece tends to break easily when dipped.<br/>I really like this NOT cut but using whole slices of bread. -
These were so good that they never made it to the freezer. Everyone liked them and that is quite an accomplishment in my house. I made them exactly as written, except I forgot to turn them halfway but they were great anyway. Thanks for such a great recipe. UPDATE Today I was in a hurry making these and I forgot to add in the melted butter. My kids and I could not tell the difference. So from now on, I will not add the butter. -
Oh my gosh these are so good. Although they did not ever make it to the freezer as planned. I love the ease of it all. My only suggestion is to make sure you spray the pan well with cooking spray. I did a light spray and had to fight to get some to turn over. Definately will make many times again. Thanks! -
These are fantastic. But just a live and learn tip- DO NOT skip spraying the sheet pan (smacks head). My first batch I could barely peel the sticks off the sheet.

I'm so tired of buying the store bought ones. These ate great and I didn't even need to buy Texas today, I was already making bread and set aside a loaf to make these. Be very gentle when dipping, they get weak. I coated with cinnamon sugar just like the store. The kids want them for lunch and they're still baking!

Very good recipe; instead of using regular bread I used mini 100% whole wheat bagels (Brand: Thomas)... My Son (18-month old) is in the picky eater stage and he doesn't like french toast but he lovedddd this recipe ;D. Thank you very much!!! -
Wonderful recipe. I am always looking for quick good breakfasts and being able to freeze this is great! I did make a few changes. I didn't have Texas toast or French bread so I used my families favorite wheat/white bread and cut the slices a little thicker. Also, instead of melted butter, I used canola oil (The first time I tried it, when I added the melted butter to the eggs, the butter clumped up. This probably wouldn't happen if I let the eggs get to room temperature first, but the oil worked fine). In addition, I used 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. vanilla. And I increased the cooking time to 30 minutes, for 15 minutes on each side. This recipe is awesome!!!
