Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 frying pan or griddle
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 plate for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices bread Preferably thick-sliced, like brioche or Texas toast.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk Can substitute with almond milk or any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar For dusting.
  • 4 tablespoons butter For frying.
  • to taste maple syrup For serving.

Instructions
 

  • Begin by cutting each slice of bread into quarters, making small square pieces. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  • Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
  • Dip each piece of cut bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked but not too soggy.
  • Place the dipped pieces onto the hot frying pan, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Remove the cooked pieces and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Repeat the frying process, adding more butter as needed until all pieces are cooked.
  • Once done, sprinkle powdered sugar over the French Toast Corners and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
