Mini French Toast Bites
Mini French Toast Bites made with baguette, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Soft inside, golden outside—serve with maple syrup and fresh berries!
Ingredients
- Baguette Bread ( Cut Into Slices)
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Plain Flour
- 4 tbsp Caster Sugar
- ½ tsp Cinnamon Powder
- ½ tsp Vanilla Essence
- 2 Tbsp Butter (Or Melted Butter)
Topping
- Fresh Blueberries
- Fresh Strawberries
- Maple Syrup
- Icing Sugar ( For Dusting)
Instructions
- Slice the baguette into small bite-sized rounds (about 1–1.5 inches thick).
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, caster sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
- Dip each baguette slice into the custard mixture, turning so both sides are coated. Don’t soak too long or the bread may become soggy.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and melt a little butter. Cook the slices for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Bread choice – Day-old or slightly stale baguette works best as it soaks up the custard without falling apart. Brioche is a great alternative for a softer, richer result.
- Don’t oversoak – Quickly dip the bread in the custard; if it sits too long, it can turn soggy.
- Cooking tip – Medium heat is key. Too high and the outside burns before the center cooks; too low and the toast dries out.
- Make-ahead option – Slice the baguette and prepare the custard mixture in advance. Dip and cook just before serving.
- Serving ideas – Maple syrup and berries are classic, but you can also add whipped cream, Nutella, caramel, or even ice cream for a dessert-style version.
- Storage & reheating – Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or air fryer to crisp them up again.
