A delicious fusion of cinnamon rolls and French toast in bite-sized form, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or Texas toast works wonderfully)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk (whole milk makes them richer, but any kind works)
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp butter, divided
  • For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional, but adds that bakery flavor)
  • For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 Tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Cut each bread slice into 9 cubes (about 1-inch).
  2. Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In another shallow bowl, mix cinnamon-sugar ingredients.
  4. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Quickly dip each cube into the egg mixture; let excess drip off.
  6. Cook in skillet about 2 minutes per side (or until golden), then toss immediately in cinnamon-sugar to coat.
  7. Repeat, adding butter between batches as needed.
  8. For glaze: beat cream cheese until smooth; add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until drizzly.
  9. Serve warm bites drizzled with cream cheese glaze or maple syrup.

Notes

  • Substitute maple syrup or powdered sugar for the cream cheese glaze if desired.
  • Feel free to experiment with different bread types like challah for a different texture.
  • These bites are freezer-friendly for up to a month.
