🍞 Cinnamon French Toast Bites 🍞
Ingredients
4 cups cubed brioche or challah bread
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Soak the Bread Cubes: Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture, gently tossing them to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Let the cubes sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Cook the Bites: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is sizzling, add half of the soaked bread cubes in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining butter and bread cubes.
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the bites are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
