→ Base Ingredients
01 -

02 -
2 large eggs
03 -
1/4 cup milk
04 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
05 -
A pinch of salt
→ Coating & Serving
06 -
1/4 cup white sugar
07 -
3 tablespoons butter, divided
08 -
2 tablespoons maple syrup for serving (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Slice each piece of bread into 8 even cubes (you'll have 48 small cubes total).
02 -
Mix the white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until they're well combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until smooth.
04 -
Melt half of the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Be careful not to let the butter brown.
05 -
Dip half of your bread cubes in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Place them in the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden brown.
06 -
As soon as the cubes are cooked, transfer them to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss to coat all sides. Move them to a serving plate.
07 -
Repeat the process with the remaining butter and bread cubes.
08 -
Enjoy while warm, with maple syrup for dipping if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Stale bread works best as it absorbs the egg mixture better and holds its shape during cooking.
02 -
If using fresh bread, toast it in the oven for 10-15 minutes first, or cut into cubes and leave in a dry container overnight.
03 -
Cook on medium-low heat to ensure the centers cook through without burning the outsides.
