Oh honey, let me tell you about this breakfast recipe that’s about to change your entire morning game! I’ve been perfecting this crispy, golden-brown heaven on a plate for years, and my family literally fights over the last bite every single time I make it.
Say hello to my Crispy Honey-Butter French Toast Sticks with Cinnamon Crunch! They’re like regular French toast’s cooler, more exciting cousin who studied abroad in Paris. 😉
What you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth the grocery trip):
– Thick-cut brioche bread (none of that regular sandwich bread nonsense)
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1 tablespoon cinnamon
– Vegetable oil for frying
– A pinch of sass (just kidding, that’s my contribution!)
Now, let’s get cooking, girlfriend!
1. Cut your brioche into thick strips (about 1-inch wide). Pro tip: slightly stale bread works better, so leave it out overnight if you can!
1. Whisk together eggs, cream, honey, and vanilla in a shallow dish. Don’t skimp on the vanilla – we’re not making a bland breakfast here!
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While it’s heating, mix sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.

1. Dip each bread strip in the egg mixture (let it soak for about 5 seconds on each side). Don’t rush this part – patience makes perfect!
1. Once your oil is hot (test with a tiny bread crumb – it should sizzle), carefully place your French toast sticks in the pan. Work in batches – overcrowding is a big no-no!
1. Fry until golden brown on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
1. Here’s where the magic happens: Melt butter in the microwave, brush it over your hot French toast sticks, then roll them in that cinnamon-sugar mixture we made earlier.
Serve these bad boys with maple syrup, whipped cream, or if you’re feeling extra fancy (which I always am), a drizzle of melted chocolate.
Y’all, this breakfast is so good, it might make your grandmother jealous! My kids literally jump out of bed when they smell these cooking – no more morning struggles!
