Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick slices of slightly stale white bread (about 1″/2.5cm thick)
- 2 large eggs (or 3 small eggs)
- 1/4 cup milk
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 3 tbsp butter, separated
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Cut the bread: Start by trimming the crusts off your bread slices and cutting each into 9 even cubes.
- Make the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Melt butter in the pan: Heat a fry pan over medium-high heat and melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.
- Cook the French toast bites: Toss half of the bread cubes in the egg mixture and quickly place them in the hot pan until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: Once browned, transfer the cubes to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss gently to coat.
- Repeat the process: Remove the coated bites and repeat with the remaining cubes, adding more butter as needed.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately, drizzled with warm maple syrup.
Notes
These bites are fantastic on their own but can be garnished with fresh fruit and served with whipped cream or flavored yogurt.
