Description
Delightful bite-sized pieces of brioche or challah bread soaked in a sweet egg mixture, perfectly cooked for a crispy exterior and soft, gooey inside. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of brioche or challah bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted butter for cooking
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Cut the bread into small, bite-sized cubes.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until combined.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the melted butter.
- Dip each bread cube into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds.
- Place the soaked cubes into the pan, cooking until golden brown on each side.

Notes
Using slightly stale bread can enhance flavor absorption. Allow cooling on a wire rack to maintain crispness, and consider varying spices or adding chocolate chips for customization.
