French toast has long been celebrated as a staple in breakfast and brunch culture. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, but it has continued to evolve, finding its way onto the menus of cafes and homes alike. The classic preparation involves soaking slices of bread in a mixture of eggs and milk before frying them to golden perfection. However, the rising popularity of bite-sized treats has led to the creation of mini versions that are not only adorable but also practical for serving at gatherings.

Ingredients
  

8 slices of brioche bread

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Butter or cooking spray for the pan

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Cut each slice of brioche bread into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch each. Set aside.

    Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup until well combined.

      Coat the Cubes: Add the brioche cubes to the egg mixture and gently toss until all pieces are coated. Let sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the mixture.

        Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the soaked bread and gently fold it in to create a thicker coating.

          Preheat the Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or cooking spray to coat the surface.

            Cook the Bites: Once hot, add the bread cubes in batches (do not overcrowd). Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until all bites are cooked.

              Serve with Berries: Arrange the mini french toast bites on a serving platter. Top with a generous amount of mixed berries and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

                Garnish: Add a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness.

                  Enjoy your delightful Mini French Toast Bites with mixed berries as a perfect brunch treat or a fun snack!
