Ingredients
  

For the Custard
  • 8 slices Thick-Cut Bread brioche or sourdough recommended, can substitute with gluten-free bread
  • 4 Large Eggs well-beaten
  • 1 cup Full Cream Milk substitute with any dairy-free milk for a vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon can use nutmeg for variation
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract use pure vanilla for best flavor
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Pistachios finely chopped and briefly toasted
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar adjust or omit for lower sugar options
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter can mix with oil to prevent browning

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • shallow bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Slice your thick-cut bread into strips about 1-inch wide, aiming for roughly three sticks per slice.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the large eggs, full cream milk, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. In another shallow dish, combine the finely chopped pistachios with granulated sugar.
  4. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring they're fully coated but not soaked—about 5 seconds.
  5. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
  6. Place the coated bread sticks in the hot skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches as needed.
  7. Once perfectly cooked, transfer the Pistachio French Toast Sticks to a warm plate or serving platter.
