From-Frozen French Toast Sticks

 

1 C. heavy cream

2 large eggs

1/4 C. granulated sugar

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

1 large bread loaf, preferably challah or brioche

 

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a bowl, whisk the cream, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Slice the bread into roughly 1-inch slices, then cut each slice into long sticks (the sizing is up to you, it will all cook the same in the end). Put parchment paper on two sheet pans. Dip each stick of bread into the egg mixture and place on the sheet pan, ensuring a small amount of space between each stick. Put the sticks into the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and cooked, turning halfway through. If You Are Freezing for Later: Allow the French toast sticks to completely cool (you can even use a cooling rack if you have one). Place the cooled sticks into a resealable freezer bag, making sure as much air is removed as possible, and put them in the freezer. When you are ready to eat, place the sticks in the microwave and cook them 30 seconds at a time until they are hot. If you are reheating a lot of them, and care a lot about the sticks’ crispiness, you can put them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes or so.
