Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Bites

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 1 loaf french bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Maple Syrup

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, milk, vanilla, and salt until blended. Place the bread cubes in the egg mixture and using a large spoon, toss gently until the cubes are evenly coated and all the egg mixture has been absorbed.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add half the coated bread cubes and cook, turning often, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cubes to the bowl holding the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat. Repeat with the remaining bread cubes and 1 tablespoon butter.
Divide the french toast bites into individual servings and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar. Serve with maple syrup.
