Notes / Tips
Use slightly stale or thick-cut bread so the sticks hold their shape better.
Do not soak the bread too long, or the centers can turn too soft.
Cook in a single layer for the crispiest edges.
If needed, work in batches so the sticks do not overlap.
Variations
Add a small pinch of nutmeg for a warmer breakfast flavor.
Use brioche for a softer richer texture, or Texas toast for thicker sturdy sticks.
Serve with berries, honey, or a yogurt dip instead of maple syrup.
Add a little orange zest to the egg mixture for a brighter flavor.
