Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Bites
08.2.10
Last weekend I got to go shopping with my mom without the girls. This doesn’t happen too often. What made the shopping trip even more special was Williams-Sonoma was having a sale. It was our first stop and last stop. Yes, that’s right we didn’t do enough damage on the first trip that on the way out we made one more stop. Now let me stop and explain something….my mom is one of those pro shoppers. You know the ones that could probably shop all day if given the chance. I really can’t keep up with her. But she is an expert on spotting the deals and she sure spotted them on our trip to Williams-Sonoma. We got an originally marked $250 All-Clad nonstick 4-quart saucepan for $50! We found some great stuff, but that didn’t stop me from finding other things in the store at regular price that I had to have. Isn’t that funny how that works? The cookbooks were calling my name as I walked into the door. I tried to stay away, after all I have way too many currently, but I was sucked in. When I laid my eyes on Cooking Together Cookbook, I knew I had to have it. There are so many cute recipes inside to make with the little ones in your life. The first recipe I had to try was these french toast bites…and they were a hit with the big and little kids in my house. A perfect treat on a Sunday morning….or really any morning.
Enjoy!!
Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Bites
3 Tablespoons Sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of Salt
1 loaf french bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
Maple Syrup
Instructions:
In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, milk, vanilla, and salt until blended. Place the bread cubes in the egg mixture and using a large spoon, toss gently until the cubes are evenly coated and all the egg mixture has been absorbed.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add half the coated bread cubes and cook, turning often, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cubes to the bowl holding the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat. Repeat with the remaining bread cubes and 1 tablespoon butter.
Divide the french toast bites into individual servings and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar. Serve with maple syrup.
