French Toast Churro Bites in Heart Shapes
Ingredients:
For the French Toast Bites:
• 8 slices of thick bread (brioche or Texas toast recommended)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• Butter or neutral oil, for cooking
For the Churro Coating:
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For Serving (Optional):
• Chocolate sauce
• Caramel sauce
• Whipped cream
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Heart Shapes:
1 Using a small heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts from each slice of bread. Save the scraps for another recipe (like breadcrumbs or croutons).
2. Make the Batter:
1 In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
3. Cook the French Toast Hearts:
1 Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
2 Dip each heart-shaped bread piece into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.
3 Place the soaked bread hearts onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary.
4. Coat with Churro Mixture:
1 In a shallow dish, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for the churro coating.
2 While the French toast bites are still warm, gently toss them in the churro coating until fully covered.
5. Serve and Garnish:
1 Arrange the French Toast Churro Bites on a serving platter.
2 Serve with chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
