Ingredients
  

8 slices of brioche or challah bread, cut into bite-sized cubes

3 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (whole or almond)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Butter or oil (for frying)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt until well combined.

    Soak the Bread: Add the bite-sized cubes of brioche or challah to the egg mixture. Gently stir to ensure all the bread pieces are well-coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes, so the bread absorbs the egg mixture.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat a medium amount of butter or oil over medium heat until it melts and starts to bubble.

        Cook the Bites: Using a slotted spoon, remove the soaked bread pieces from the egg mixture and carefully place them in the skillet. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining bread.

          Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once the bites are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Immediately dust with powdered sugar while they are still warm.

            Serve: Serve the cinnamon french toast bites warm, drizzled with maple syrup and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon if desired.
