- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup 2% milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup cane sugar
Blueberry Maple Sauce
- 2.5 cups blueberries, fresh, about 12 ounces
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh squeezed
Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 11-inch non-stick skillet
- 1 saucepot
- 1 small mixing bowl
Instructions
Prepare the blueberry maple sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine blueberries, lemon juice and maple syrup.
- Simmer on low until the berries begin to bust and the sauce begin to thicken about 20-25 minutes. Stir frequently. You do not want the heat too high because the syrup could caramelize, or it could even burn. Low heat is best.
- Once the sauce begins to thicken to your liking, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture:
- Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl until well combined.
Prepare the French toast sticks:
- Cut the Texas toast down the center lengthwise, then cut the two pieces down the center again. You will get four sticks per slice of toast.
- Repeat until all of the bread is cut into sticks.
Prepare the egg mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined.
Assemble the dish:
- Heat an 11-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once the butter has melted, dredge 4-5 sticks through the egg mixture making sure each side is coated in the egg mixture. Shake off any excess liquid and add the sticks to the pan with the butter.
- You will want to cook each side until all sides are golden-brown.
- Remove the golden-brown sticks from the pan and place them on a plate.
- Lightly dust the hot sticks with the cinnamon sugar mixture. You will only dust one side so the sticks do not get too sweet.
- Repeat for all sticks.
- Plate the stick on a platter and top with your beautiful blueberry maple sauce.
- Serve hot.
