3. Slice bread into thick slices then into sticks.
4. Soak the bread sticks in the custard sauce for about 2-5 minutes.
5. Heat up oil in a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat.
6. Then pop the bread sticks on the pan and fry each side until it turns slightly brown!
7. Turn the bread sticks until each side is well cooked.
8. Plate up your french toast sticks and top them off with yogurt, fruits and maple syrup or homemade nutella!

NOTES

• I use my homemade high protein lower carb bread. You can use any sort of bread but to make high protein french toast, you'll need a high protein bread.
• Make sure your bread sticks are thick enough.
• Use one or two days old bread so it has dried up a little. It will absorb the custard sauce better and not break apart.
• You can use your preferred sweetener or sugar.
• You can replace almond milk with your preferred milk.
• Add more stevia if you want it sweeter.
