Instructions

Prepare the bread: Cut the thick bread slices into bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and perfect bite-sized portions.
Mix the egg batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth.
Soak the bread cubes: Dip each bread cube into the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly to absorb the flavors and moisture.
Cook on stovetop: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked bread cubes in batches, cooking and turning them frequently for about 5–7 minutes per batch, until all sides are golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing well for an even coating.
Coat the cooked bites: Brush the hot French toast bites lightly with melted butter, then toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated and fragrant.
Serve warm: Enjoy these French Toast Churro Bites warm, and consider serving with chocolate sauce, caramel, or maple syrup for dipping to enhance the experience.

Notes

These bites are best served fresh for maximum crispness and flavor.
If preparing multiple batches, keep cooked bites warm in a low oven to maintain texture.
Using day-old or slightly stale bread yields the best texture as it soaks up the egg mixture without falling apart.
