Ingredient notes
- Use thick-cut white bread for the best texture and flavor.
- If you're serving picky eaters, you can cut off the crusts from the bread before slicing.
Tips from Preppy Kitchen's video
- When cutting the bread, use a serrated knife for clean cuts.
- Soak the outside of the bread sticks in the custard mixture, but keep the inside a bit dry to prevent them from falling apart while cooking.
- Cook the sticks on medium heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side, but keep an eye on them as stove temperatures can vary.
