French Toast Sticks
French toast sticks are fantastic, so crunchy on the outside you'll never guess the secret ingredient. Prepare these ahead of time and take them out of the freezer for a quick and easy breakfast for one or a crowd.
Ingredients
- 12 slices thick sliced bread
- 6 eggs
- ½ cup half and half

- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
