Cut each slice of bread into 3 equal strips to create 'sticks.' Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated but not overly soaked, then place them onto the skillet.
Cook the French toast sticks for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter between batches.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast sticks to a cooling rack and let them cool completely if freezing, or place them directly onto serving plates if eating immediately.
For freezer storage, place the cooled French toast sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze until solid, about 1-2 hours. Then transfer them to a labeled freezer-safe bag or container.
To reheat, bake the frozen French toast sticks in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings.
