Notes

Recipe tips.

Use a sturdy stale bread so that it can absorb all the delicious custard.
To avoid white egg strands from forming on the sticks, thoroughly whisk the egg into the milk. Room temperature eggs will incorporate better than cold eggs.
Drizzle or dip the sticks into Cinnamon Buttermilk Syrup, Buttermilk Syrup, Maple Syrup, Strawberry Sauce, Nutella Dip, or Yogurt Fruit Dip.

Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days or store in the freezer for 1-2 months. Reheat single servings in the microwave or toaster oven, or several on a baking sheet in the oven at 375°F until hot.
