Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 loaf Brioche
Egg Mixture
- 3 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Caster Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
For Cooking and Serving
- Butter, to taste
- Maple Syrup, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Brioche: Cut the brioche loaf into 1-inch slices. Remove all the crusts from each slice and cut each slice into 9 equal squares to form the nuggets.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, caster sugar, and vanilla bean paste until thoroughly combined.
- Coat the Brioche Nuggets: Toss each brioche square in the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated to absorb the flavors.
- Fry the Nuggets: Heat a pan over medium heat and add butter to coat the surface. Fry the coated brioche pieces on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar and Coat Nuggets: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Once the nuggets are fried, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat them evenly and add a sweet, spicy flavor.
- Serve: Arrange the French toast nuggets on a plate and serve with maple syrup for dipping. Enjoy these delightful bite-sized treats warm.
Notes
- Use brioche bread for a rich, soft texture that holds up well when fried.
- Removing the crusts makes the nuggets more uniform and bite-sized.
- Adjust sugar amounts to suit your sweetness preference.
- Cook over medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the inside cooks fully.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
