Instead of breakfast, make a cozy dinner of homemade French toast sticks by adding a few unexpected toppings, such as bacon, onions, mushrooms, and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with a simple green salad for a perfectly balanced meal.

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 ounces (about 6 slices) bacon
2 onions, cut into 1/4-inch dice
12 ounces button mushrooms, stemmed and quartered
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, half-and-half, or milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
1 teaspoon coarse salt
6 slices 1-inch-thick bread, such as sourdough, each cut into 3 long strips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove bacon with tongs, drain on paper towels, and set aside. Add onions to skillet with bacon drippings; cook, stirring constantly, until onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until tender and most of the liquid released has evaporated, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer mixture to bowl to cool. When cool, finely chop half the mixture, and set aside the other half.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, Parmesan, and salt. Stir in the finely chopped vegetable mixture.
  • Place the bread strips in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour egg mixture over bread; soak 10 minutes. Turn strips over, and soak until bread is soaked through, about 10 minutes more.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry half the bread strips until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to wire rack; place in oven while cooking remaining bread.
  • Wipe out skillet; repeat with remaining butter, oil, and bread. Keep in oven until ready to serve. Heat remaining onion mixture in a small skillet until warm. Serve French toast warm, topped with reserved onion mixture, crumbled bacon, and Parmesan, if desired.

I can't wait to try this recipe again with different toppings. I think they would be great with Nutella or peanut butter.

These were perfect for a quick and easy breakfast. I made them ahead of time and reheated them in the toaster oven the next morning.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon sugar, so I used a different coating. I used a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, and chopped nuts. It was delicious!

These were a little too dry for my taste, but I think I just needed to use a little more butter when cooking them.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my French toast sticks turned out soggy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of French toast, but these sticks were amazing! The bread was soft and fluffy, and the cinnamon sugar coating was the perfect amount of sweetness.

My family loved this recipe! The French toast sticks were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the cinnamon sugar coating was the perfect finishing touch. We will definitely be making this again.
