Yes please 😄 — French Toast Bites are perfect for brunch, snacks, or tiny-hands eating.
Easy French Toast Bites
Ingredients
- 4–5 slices thick bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk or half-and-half
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter for cooking
For serving
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup
- Fresh fruit
- Whipped cream (optional but fun)
Instructions
- Prep bread
- Cut bread into 1-inch cubes.
- Make custard
- Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Coat bread
- Toss bread cubes gently in the egg mixture until coated (don’t soak too long).
- Cook
- Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Melt butter.
- Cook bread bites, turning often, 5–7 minutes until golden on all sides.
- Serve warm
- Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with syrup.
Variations
- Cinnamon-sugar finish: Toss hot bites in cinnamon sugar.
- Stuffed bites: Cube cream-cheese-filled bread 🤯
- Savory: Skip sugar/vanilla; add a pinch of salt + serve with bacon.
- Air fryer: 375°F for 7–9 min, shaking halfway.
Tips
- Slightly stale bread = best texture.
- Medium heat prevents burning before the inside cooks.
- Cook in batches so they crisp, not steam.
If you want, I can give you a make-ahead freezer version, pumpkin spice, or overnight baked French toast bites 🥞✨
