I’m loving coming up with contemporary takes on french toast! Growing up I at all times cherished french toast however it surely was at all times the vintage model drowning in syrup. When I was in uni, I found how nice it was to pile bacon onto it, and yes, nonetheless drown it in maple syrup. I used to name this a “Heart Attack On A Plate”. This was earlier than the day while “sweet and salty” turned all of the craze and everybody I made this for had been doubtful till they took their first mouthful – then they had been converted for life.
I digress. Back to those French Toast Sticks. Two massive issues it has going for it:
1. Food you consume along with your fingers. Need I say anymore?
2. Tastes like cinnamon doughnuts. I can’t admit to any of my pals that I secretly love cinnamon doughnuts, deep fried puffy goodness dusted with sugar. It’s on my listing of what I name “Dirty Foods”, meals this is oh-so-bad-for-you-I-know-I-shouldn’t-eat-but-secretly-love. Throughout this weblog there's not any doubt that I could be disclosing lots of my everyday Dirty Foods. You will potential be horrified. Or perhaps not. Maybe rather plenty extra folks than I suppose secretly love KFC Popcorn Chicken.
The key to french toast sticks which can be stiff sufficient to elect up with out flopping is to make use of stale bread and to make use of a block loaf you perhaps can cut your self into thick slices (the thicker the sticks, the so much less they flop). This is the method I like my french toast sticks, but whenever you don’t have a stale block loaf, it nonetheless tastes simply as delicious utilizing pre-sliced sandwich bread, it'll simply sag a little of while you elect it up.
I truly do suggest utilizing stale bread the place potential for french toast – any french toast. It makes a vast difference simply due to the fact contemporary bread soaks up too rather plenty egg combination – even whenever you dunk it in truly fast – and you’ll cease up with french toast this is soggy at the inside.
This recipe basically takes about 15 minutes to make, and is tremendous easy. French Toast you perhaps can consume along with your palms – anything that no kid, massive and small, can perhaps resist!
