Ingredients
  

6 slices of thick white bread (Texas toast or brioche work well)

3 large eggs

1 cup whole milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

Butter or cooking spray for greasing

Powdered sugar, for serving

Maple syrup, for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut each slice of bread into 3 equal sticks, making long rectangular pieces. Place them aside.

    Make the Custard Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

      Coat the Bread Sticks: Dip each bread stick into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15 seconds on each side. Make sure they’re well coated but not overly saturated.

        Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Arrange the coated bread sticks in a single layer, leaving space between each stick.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.

            Serve: Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
