French Toast Sticks with Strawberry Syrup
Challah French Toast Sticks with Strawberry Syrup, whipped cream, and berries.
Equipment
- electric mixer
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 8 slices Challah or other white bread, cut in one inch thick sticks
- 4 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 cup strawberries, halved
For the Strawberry Syrup:
- 2 cups sliced strawberries, fresh or frozen
- ½ cup each granulated sugar and water
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp. powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by making the Strawberry Sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a three quart saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes or until the sauce is thickened. Cover to keep warm until serving.
- Next, make the whipped cream: Place the cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl, and whip it with the whisk beater on high until it's fluffy. Chill until serving.
- Next, heat a tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Beat together the eggs and cream in a bowl. Dip a quarter of the sticks quickly, on both sides, into the eggs. Fry them in butter, on both sides, until they're golden brown. Add more butter, as needed, to fry the rest of the sticks, in batches.
- Top the sticks with powdered sugar ( if you like), strawberry syrup, whipped cream, and strawberries.
