Cinnamon French Toast Bites
Cinnamon French Toast Bites are fun to make and eat, resembling mini cinnamon sugar doughnuts.
Equipment
- Fry pan
Ingredients
Bread
- 4 slices thick slices of slightly stale white bread 1"/2.5cm thick
Eggs and Milk
- 2 large eggs or 3 small eggs
- ¼ cup milk
Sugar and Cinnamon
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
Fat
- 3 tablespoon butter separated
Serving
- Maple syrup to serve (not optional!)
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the crust off the bread, then cut each piece into 9 equal cubes.
- Whisk the eggs, milk and salt in a medium bowl.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Melt 1 ½ tablespoon of butter in a fry pan over medium high heat. Don't let the butter brown.
- Quickly toss half the bread cubes in the egg mixture and use your hands to shake off excess egg mixture. Place the bread cubes in the fry pan and use a wooden spoon to 'sauté' them until browned on all sides - about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the bread cubes from the fry pan straight into the sugar mixture. Toss to coat, then remove onto a plate.
- Repeat with remaining bread cubes.
- Serve immediately, with maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
Using slightly stale bread helps maintain cube shape and prevents soggy interior.
