Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices thick bread, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined, ensuring the mixture is smooth and aromatic.
- Coat the bread cubes: Add the bite-sized bread cubes into the egg mixture and gently toss them until each piece is evenly coated.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, coating the surface to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook the bread cubes: Add the coated bread cubes to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning frequently so that all sides become golden brown and slightly crisp without burning.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the sweet coating.
- Toss in cinnamon sugar: While the French toast bites are still warm, transfer them to the cinnamon sugar mixture and toss gently to coat each piece thoroughly and evenly.
- Serve: Serve the cinnamon sugar coated bites immediately, optionally drizzled with maple syrup for additional sweetness and flavor.
Notes
- Brioche or challah bread works especially well for a richer taste and softer texture.
- For extra sweetness and visual appeal, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
- Serve with fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup for a complete breakfast treat.
