Set aside.In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk and vanilla extract until well mixed. Heat a non-stick pan with a teaspoon of cooking oil and a teaspoon of butter. In the meantime, quickly dunk the 4 bread sticks into the milk and egg mixture and cook them on the pan. Cook until golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides. Repeat this with the remaining bread sticks.After you've finished cooking all the french toast sticks, wipe the non stick pan with a paper towel and warm the orange-thyme-maple syrup over low-medium heat.
