Cinnamon French Toast Bites
Cinnamon French Toast Bites are a delightful breakfast treat, perfect for dipping in maple syrup.
Equipment
- Fry pan
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick slices of slightly stale white bread (1"/2.5cm thick)
- 2 large eggs (or 3 small eggs)
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 3 tablespoon butter *separated*
- Maple syrup to serve (not optional!)
Instructions
- 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 prevents the toast from soaking up too much egg mixture, keeping the inside perfectly cooked and holding cube shape better.
