Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites

Directions to follow

Start by whisking the eggs and milk together in a bowl until well combined.
Dip each slice of bread or piece of cinnamon roll dough into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
Cook the coated pieces for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown.
Serve warm, adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of icing if you’d like!

Best ways to enjoy it

When serving up your Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites, consider placing them on a beautiful platter, dusting them with powdered sugar for an elegant touch. For an extra indulgence, drizzle a sweet icing made from powdered sugar and milk over the top. Pair them with fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries, or serve alongside crispy bacon for a balanced breakfast plate.

How to store

If you have leftovers (though it’s hard to imagine that), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster oven for a few minutes, or warm them in the microwave. If you want to make a batch ahead of time, they can be frozen for up to a month. Just ensure they’re well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.

Helpful cooking tips

Here are some extra tips to elevate your Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites:

Use day-old bread for better texture; it absorbs the egg mixture more effectively without getting soggy.
Customize your bites by adding a touch of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for an extra flavor boost.
For those who want a creamier taste, try substituting part of the milk with half-and-half.

Creative twists

Feel free to play with this recipe! Add chocolate chips to the mix or sprinkle in some chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch. You might also consider drenching your bites in caramel sauce instead of the usual icing for a decadent twist. For a healthier option, use whole-grain bread and almond milk.
