What to Serve with French Toast Sticks
French toast is a deliciously sweet breakfast in its own right and is delicious with a big glass of ice-cold milk or a cup of coffee. However, you can make it a part of an even bigger breakfast feast when pairing it with:
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Sausage
- Ham
- Hashbrowns
- Homefries
- Biscuits and gravy
Tips:
- Dip your bread strips just long enough to thoroughly coat them on all sides. If you soak them too long, they'll fall apart.
- Cook your French toast sticks on medium heat. This allows them to cook through and become golden rather than burned.
- Be sure you thoroughly combined your egg mixture before dipping the bread.
