Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Bites

Cook's Notes: Everything is better when it's bite-size, especially at breakfast time. Wake up to these delicious Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Bites, a fun twist on traditional French Toast. Pair with fresh fruit. Optional sprinkling toast bites with powdered sugar. The recipe is adapted from BHG and serves 6.

Cooking tips: Prep ahead a few hours by cutting bread cubes, placing them on a baking sheet to dry out to hold their shape better.
To keep finished French Toast Cubes warm while you cook the remaining batches, place them on a 15×10-inch baking pan in a 200-degree oven.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup 2% milk
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1-1 pound unsliced round loaf artisan-style country white, French or sourdough bread, cut into 2-inch cubes
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons butter

Directions:

• In a large bowl whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Add bread cubes; toss. Let stand a few minutes for the egg mixture to soak in.
• In a shallow dish stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
• In a 10-inch skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium. Remove a few bread cubes from the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Add to skillet. Cook 3 minutes per batch, turning to cook evenly until golden. Using tongs, immediately transfer bread cubes to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll to coat. Repeat with remaining bread cubes, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Serve immediately with fresh fruit or Mascarpone Whipped Cream.
