🍞 Cinnamon French Toast Bites 🍯
Ingredients
4 slices slightly stale white bread (about 1-inch thick, crusts removed)
2 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
¼ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Prep the bread: Cut each slice into 9 even cubes (about ¾-inch each). Slightly stale bread works best—it absorbs the custard without turning soggy and holds its shape during cooking.
Make the custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until smooth and fully blended.
Prepare cinnamon sugar: In a shallow dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside near your stovetop for easy access.
Cook the first batch: Melt 1½ tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat—do not let it brown. Working quickly, dip half the bread cubes into the egg mixture, gently shake off excess, and add them to the hot pan. Using a wooden spoon, “sauté” the cubes by stirring and flipping constantly for 2–3 minutes until evenly golden on all sides.
Coat and serve: Immediately transfer the hot cubes to the cinnamon sugar mixture. Toss gently to coat thoroughly, then spread onto a serving plate.
Repeat: Add the remaining butter to the pan, then repeat with the rest of the bread cubes and custard.
Enjoy fresh: Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of extra cinnamon sugar.
