Cinnamon French Toast Bites Recipes

CINNAMON TOAST BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange bread in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing halfway through, until completely dried out, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in sugar and 1/2 cup water and cook until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Transfer syrup to a large bowl, add bread, and toss quickly until coated. Using a slotted spoon, return cubes to baking sheet; discard remaining syrup. Bake bread, tossing halfway through, until sugar is slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
• Do Ahead
• Bites can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST BITES

Steps:

• Cut each slice of bread into bite size pieces.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, whipping cream, milk, vanilla, 1 Tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
• After butter is melted, dip each piece of bread in egg mixture, let excess drip off and place in saucepan.
• You won't be able to cook all of the bread at one time, so work with just enough pieces to fill the bottom layer of the pan.
• Saute your french toast bites until they begin to golden.
• Once one side is golden brown, flip over and cook the other side until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
• In a separate bowl, mix together remaining sugar, cinnamon and brown sugar.
• Transfer hot french toast bites to bowl and toss in cinnamon and sugar mixture until coated.
• Serve with syrup and sprinkled with more sugar and cinnamon.
