Ingredients
Scale
For the French Toast:
- 6 slices of thick bread (Brioche or Texas toast works best)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For Dipping (Optional):

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
- Cut the bread slices into small cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
Step 2: Make the French Toast Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3: Cook the French Toast Bites
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Dip the bread cubes into the egg mixture, making sure each piece is well coated but not overly soaked.
- Cook the bites for 2-3 minutes per side, turning with a spatula, until golden brown on all sides.
Step 4: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
- In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon.
- Brush each cooked French toast bite with melted butter, then toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
- Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, or whipped cream for dipping.
- Enjoy every sweet, cinnamon-y bite!
Notes
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!
