Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 4 slices Brioche Bread Challah can be used for a similar result.
  • 3 large Eggs Use flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Substitute with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Nutmeg can be added for extra depth.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg Use allspice as a substitute if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Leave out if avoiding sugar.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can be used for a richer flavor.
For Frying
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil Canola oil or peanut oil are alternatives.
For Dipping
  • 1 cup Pure Maple Syrup Honey or agave syrup can substitute for different flavors.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Deep skillet
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar. Beat them together until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture; this will be the flavorful batter that hugs each bite!
  2. Slice the brioche bread into 2-inch cubes. Make sure the pieces are uniform to ensure even cooking. Dip each cube into the egg mixture for about 5 seconds, allowing it to soak but not saturate.
  3. In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread in—if it sizzles, you’re good to go!
  4. Carefully place the dipped bread cubes in batches into the hot oil. Fry them for about 3 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy all over.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked bites to a plate lined with paper towels. This step helps to remove any excess oil, keeping your bites perfectly crispy without being greasy.
  6. Serve the warm French toast bites alongside shot glasses of pure maple syrup for dipping. Encourage your guests to enjoy the delightful contrast of crispy bites and sweet syrup!
