Burger King French Toast Sticks

This copycat Burger King French toast sticks recipe has everything we love in the original, but you never have to wait in the drive-through for them! They’re easy and delicious. Perfect!

Burger King’s French toast sticks, from their breakfast menu, are my absolute favorite thing they make. I get them whenever I stop there for a fast food Burger King breakfast.

Burger King’s version of french toast is simply amazing as far as I’m concerned.

It occurred to me a little bit ago that I could just make these at home, and the results were fantastic! We matched the maple flavor and we loved how soft and custardy they are. How light and crispy.

Can’t wait for you to try them.

Instructions

Making these French toast sticks is just as easy as gathering up the ingredients. It only takes a few minutes and a few steps.

Step 1: Prep the Bread

• 

Cut the bread slices into 1-inch strips.

Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture

• 

• 

Combine the eggs, heavy cream, melted butter, maple extract, salt, cinnamon, and sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk well.

Step 3: Dip the Bread

• 

• 

Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture until fully saturated. Then, place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet. This allows the excess liquid to drip from the French toast sticks before you fry them.

Step 4: Fry

• 

• 

Heat 1-inch of canola oil to 350 degrees in a frying pan. Then, carefully add the bread strips to the hot oil and fry for 1 minute per side

Step 5: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

• 

• 

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then spread the mixture into a small pan. Roll the fried French toast sticks in the mixture to coat. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Hint: A bowl with a pour spout makes it easier to dip the bread strips because you can use the spout to shake of excess.

Tips

I have a few simple tips here that will make the entire process easier and the final product tastier. These are simple tips, but they make a big difference.

• Give your bread slices a good soak, but be careful not to soak them so long that they fall apart while you’re holding them.
• Don’t crowd your pan when frying the French toast sticks. If you do, they’ll get soggy instead of crispy.
• Let your French toast sticks drain on your prepared baking sheet before frying so they don’t cause excess spatter.
