Hey there, breakfast lovers! ๐
Let me tell you about my absolute favorite morning treat that has my family literally fighting over the last bite. These Cinnamon Roll French Toast Sticks are basically what would happen if a cinnamon roll and French toast had a delicious baby โ and trust me, itโs a beautiful thing!
Yโall, I discovered this recipe during one of those lazy Sunday mornings when I couldnโt decide between cinnamon rolls and French toast. And honey, let me tell you โ sometimes the best ideas come from not being able to make up your mind! ๐
Hereโs what youโll need:
โ 8 thick slices of brioche bread (Texas toast works too, but brioche is where itโs at!)
โ 3 large eggs
โ 2/3 cup whole milk
โ 1 tsp vanilla extract
โ 2 tbsp brown sugar
โ 1 tbsp cinnamon
โ Pinch of salt
โ Butter for frying
โ Your favorite maple syrup
For the cream cheese glaze (because weโre fancy like that):
โ 4 oz cream cheese, softened
โ 1/2 cup powdered sugar
โ 2-3 tbsp milk
โ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Now, letโs get cooking:
1. Cut each slice of bread into 3 even strips. Pro tip: slightly stale bread works better โ it holds up like a champ!
1. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. In another dish, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
1. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture (donโt let it get too soggy โ weโre not making bread soup here! ๐)
1. Heat up your skillet or griddle with some butter over medium heat. Once itโs hot, add your French toast sticks.
1. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. As soon as they come off the heat, roll them in that cinnamon-sugar mixture.
For the glaze, beat cream cheese until smooth, add powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make it drizzle-worthy.
Arrange these babies on a plate, drizzle with that heavenly cream cheese glaze, and maybe add some fresh berries if youโre feeling fancy (or trying to convince yourself itโs healthy โ I wonโt judge! ๐).
Yโall, these are seriously game-changing. Perfect for those mornings when you want to feel like youโre eating dessert for breakfast โ because lifeโs too short not to!
