Cinnamon French Toast Bites
by @recipe_tin
Ingredients
4 thick slices of slightly stale white bread (1"/2.5cm thick) (Note 1)
2 large eggs (or 3 small eggs)
1/4 cup milk
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
3 tbsp butter , separated
Maple syrup to serve (not optional!)
Instructions
Cut the crust off the bread, then cut each piece into 9 equal cubes.
Whisk the eggs, milk and salt in a medium bowl.
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Melt 1 1/2 tbsp of butter in a fry pan over medium high heat. Don't let the butter brown.
Quickly toss half the bread cubes in the egg mixture and use your hands to shake off excess egg mixture. Place the bread cubes in the fry pan and use a wooden spoon to "sauté" them until browned on all sides - about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the bread cubes from the fry pan straight into the sugar mixture. Toss to coat, then remove onto a plate.
Repeat with remaining bread cubes.
Serve immediately, with maple syrup for dipping.
