For the custard

4 large large eggs
1 cup milk (or half-and-half) Feel free to substitute half-and-half for milk for a creamier texture.
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

For cooking

For the bread

1 loaf brioche or challah bread, cut into 1-inch cubes Quality matters; brioche or challah adds rich flavor and texture.

For the cinnamon sugar coating

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Add in the bread cubes, gently tossing to coat—be careful not to let them soak too long, as you want them to hold their shape.

Cooking

Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
In batches, add the coated bread cubes and cook, turning often, until each side is golden brown, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

Coating

In a shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for coating.
Roll the warm French toast bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Serving

Serve immediately with your choice of maple syrup, honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
