Step 3: Coat the Bread
Place the bread cubes in a shallow bowl or plate. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, gently tossing to coat each piece evenly. Let the bread sit for 5–10 minutes to soak in the mixture, ensuring they absorb maximum flavor without becoming mushy.
Step 4: Cook the Bites
Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is sizzling, carefully add the soaked bread cubes in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until each cube is golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
Tip: Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 5: Serve
Once cooked, transfer the French Toast Bites to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and drizzle with maple syrup or chocolate sauce. Serve warm for the best taste.
Tips for Perfect French Toast Bites
- Choose the right bread: Brioche, challah, or even thick sandwich bread gives the best texture.
- Don’t over-soak: Just enough egg mixture to coat the bread; too much makes it soggy.
- Experiment with flavors: Add a pinch of nutmeg, cardamom, or even orange zest for a unique twist.
- Keep warm: If making in batches, place finished bites in a low oven (around 200°F/90°C) to keep warm without drying them out.
French Toast Bites are incredibly versatile — you can enjoy them plain, with syrup, or even with a side of fresh fruit or whipped cream. They’re the perfect combination of crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with warm, comforting flavors in every bite.
