Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick slices of slightly stale white bread (about 1″/2.5cm thick)
- 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 (for serving)
Instructions
- Cut the crusts off the bread and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Mix the white sugar with the cinnamon in a shallow bowl to create a sweet coating.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and melt 1.5 tablespoons of butter.
- Toss half of the bread cubes in the egg mixture, then add them to the hot pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the golden bread bites to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss to coat fully.
- Repeat the process with the remaining bread cubes, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve immediately with warm maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
Use slightly stale bread for better absorption of the egg mixture. Avoid using the microwave for reheating; instead, reheat in a toaster oven or pan to keep them crispy.
