Pre-heat oven to 170°C Fan/180°C/350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl whisk together 100g (½ cup) caster or granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, set aside.
Cut each slice of bread into three even strips and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together milk, cream, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs and vanilla extract until very well blended.
Dip each breadstick into the egg custard mixture and flip to coat and let any excess run off back into the mixing bowl. Place the coated breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 7 minutes, flip and then return to the oven to bake for another 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and then brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar. Return to oven and bake for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve warm with maple syrup and fruits if desired.
