Breakfast Pancakes and French Toast

French Toast Bites

Whenever I have a leftover loaf of hearty French or Italian bread lying around, I always love to cut it up and do something creative with it. Sometimes I’ll make bread crumbs or croutons, or maybe garlic bread or panzanella, but on weekends there’s nothing better than French toast.

Thing is, I tend to think big, bready slices of traditional French toast are just too heavy for breakfast. That’s why I love this idea of cutting up bite-sized cubes of day-old bread, soaking them in egg, milk, cinnamon and vanilla, and bubbling ’em in a pan with a little butter. The smell is incredible and the taste is light, fluffy, moist and full of all the French toast goodness you know and love.

Whether you top these little bites with fresh fruit, whipped cream or maple syrup, I know you’ll just love them, and kids will too. Plus, they’re just as simple and quick to make as traditional French toast, even if you’re not a morning person!

French Toast Bites

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

1/2 loaf sturdy, day-old French or Italian bread
3 eggs
1/2 cup low-fat or fat-free milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

Trim crusts off of bread and cut into 1-inch-thick cubes. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add bread cubes and mix to saturate.
Lightly butter a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan. Place pan over medium-high heat. Lift bread cubes from mixture, shaking off excess liquid. Add cubes to hot pan and cook (adjust heat if necessary), turning as needed, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
Repeat to soak and cook remaining cubes. Discard any remaining egg mixture.
If desired, top with maple syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar or fruit of your choice.
Enjoy!

    I totally agree…there is nothing better to do with leftover french bread than make french toast…especially when it is bite sized!

    I want to try this! I often find French toast heavy also. And these are so cute.

    Yuuummy. Why didn’t I see this yesterday? I would’ve made these today. Oh well. These look yummy. I want some now.

    Perfect idea! I ‘ve been doing that only with eggs, but some milk and cinammon is GREAT!

    These look delicious, and I’m normally not a huge fan of French toast. They are perfect because you can decide exactly how much (or how little) you want!

    Wish I was at your house on a Saturday morning! I’m curious about trying these in a savory way…on a salad, instead of regular croutons.

    I may have to go out and buy a loaf of french bread just so I can have leftovers to make these cute little french toast bites! These are lovely, Georgia! (and small enough so the center can’t get soggy!)

    Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to understand a lot approximately this,
    like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I think that
    you could do with some p.c. to pressure the message house a
    bit, but instead of that, that is fantastic blog.

    An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.

I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Cheers!
