Tips for the Best Cinnamon French Toast Bites

Use Stale Bread – Slightly dry bread absorbs the egg mixture better without getting soggy.
Don’t Over-Soak the Bread – A quick dip in the mixture is all you need!
Cook on Medium Heat – Too high, and they’ll burn; too low, and they won’t crisp up.
Serve Immediately – Best enjoyed fresh and warm!
