Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of day-old bread (challah or brioche preferred)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or alternative)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for healthier option)
- For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Cut the bread into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
- Make the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla until well-combined.
- Soak the Bread: Gently dip each piece of bread into the custard mixture, letting it soak for a few seconds but not too long; we want them to hold their shape.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, allowing it to foam.
- Fry the Bites: Add the soaked bread cubes to the skillet in a single layer, cooking until golden brown, around 2-3 minutes per side.
- Make the Glaze: While the bites are cooking, in a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Serve: Drizzle the glaze over your cinnamon roll french toast bites while they’re warm. Enjoy them fresh off the pan!
