Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 6 slices Brioche Bread
- 3 Eggs
- 3/4 cup Milk
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
Instructions
- Cut each slice of brioche bread into bite-sized pieces by first cutting it into strips and then into cubes. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 3/4 cup milk, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper (optional). Ensure the batter is well mixed and smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 3 tbsp cinnamon. Mix well and set aside for dipping the cooked French toast bites.
- Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Dip each bread cube in the egg batter, letting it soak for about 3 seconds.
- Place the soaked bread pieces in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary.
- Once cooked, immediately dip the French toast bites into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating evenly.
- Serve the French Toast Bites warm. Enjoy them as is, or with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite dipping sauce!
