Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by cutting each slice of bread into 9 small, bite-sized squares using a sharp knife.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined and smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Dip each bread square into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated but not soaked through.
- Place the coated bread squares onto the heated skillet, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning carefully with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy on the exterior.
- Remove cooked bites from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm, arranged on a platter, and drizzle generously with maple syrup for dipping.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or add fresh berries for extra decoration and flavor.
Tips
- Choose Your Bread Wisely: For the best texture, opt for a thick, hearty bread like brioche or challah. If you're gluten-free, any gluten-free bread will work beautifully!
- Cut Evenly: Make sure to cut your bread into uniform 9 small squares to ensure they cook evenly and have the perfect bite-sized shape.
- Don’t Soak Too Long: Dip each bread square quickly in the egg mixture. You want them coated but not soggy, as this will help them crisp up nicely in the skillet.
- Perfect Heat: Keep your skillet at medium heat. Too hot, and the outsides will burn before the insides cook; too low, and you’ll miss that golden-brown crunch.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange zest to the egg mixture for an extra flavor twist!
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch, dust your French toast bites with powdered sugar or serve with fresh berries alongside the maple syrup for a burst of freshness.
- Make it a Meal: Pair these bites with some crispy bacon or sausage for a complete breakfast that will satisfy everyone at the table!
