Cinnamon French Toast Bites

By Nagi | RecipeTin Eats

French toast in bite size form! These are really fun to make - you "sauté" them as though they are cubes of tofu or chicken, then toss in cinnamon sugar. And it goes without saying they are also fun to eat! They taste like mini cinnamon sugar doughnuts. :)

Ingredients

• 4 thick slices of slightly stale white bread ((1"/2.5cm thick) (Note 1))
• 2 large eggs ((or 3 small eggs))
• 1/4 cup milk
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 3 tbsp butter (, separated)
• Maple syrup to serve ((not optional!))

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the crust off the bread, then cut each piece into 9 equal cubes.

2. 2

   Whisk the eggs, milk and salt in a medium bowl.

3. 3

   Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

4. 4

   Melt 1 1/2 tbsp of butter in a fry pan over medium high heat. Don't let the butter brown.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Remove the bread cubes from the fry pan straight into the sugar mixture. Toss to coat, then remove onto a plate.

7. 7

   Repeat with remaining bread cubes.

8. 8

   Serve immediately, with maple syrup for dipping.
