Cinnamon French Toast Bites

Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Egg Mixture

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully combined. This mixture is the flavorful base that will coat each bread cube, giving them their signature cinnamon French toast taste.

Step 3: Coat the Bread Bites

Working in batches if needed, gently toss the bread cubes in the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let them sit in the mixture for 1–2 minutes to absorb the liquid, but be careful not to oversaturate, or they may become soggy.

Step 4: Heat the Pan

Place a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, coating the pan evenly. You may need to add a bit more butter as you cook in batches.

Step 5: Cook the French Toast Bites

Add the coated bread cubes to the hot pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to gently turn the bites for even cooking.

Tip: Keep the cooked bites warm in a low oven (about 200°F / 95°C) while finishing the remaining batches.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once all the bites are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or add fresh berries for an extra special touch. These bites are best enjoyed warm, right off the pan.

Optional Variations

• Apple Cinnamon Bites: Add tiny diced apples to the bread cubes before dipping them in the egg mixture.
• Chocolate Lovers: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips onto the coated bites before frying.
• Savory Twist: Skip the sugar and cinnamon, and add a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and grated cheese for a savory version.
