Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Custard

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 2: Build Your Bread Stacks

Take two slices of bread. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on one side of each slice. Sprinkle one with shredded cheese and pepperoni, then top with the other slice like a sandwich.

Step 3: Cut Into Sticks

Carefully cut the sandwich into 3 or 4 long strips, depending on your bread size. Repeat with remaining slices.

Step 4: Dip and Cook

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil. Dip each stick into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Place them in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2–3 minutes per side.

Step 5: Serve Hot!

Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
