Learn how to make delicious BEST RECIPE for Cinnamon Roll French Toast bites. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 loaf of brioche bread, cut into cubes
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. This mixture should remind you of the creamy, sweet custard base my abuela would make for her tres leches cake.
Add the cubed brioche bread into the bowl, gently tossing to ensure each piece is well-coated in the egg mixture.
Transfer the soaked bread cubes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread cubes, allowing it to seep through for added richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the custard is set. The scent wafting through your kitchen will remind you of the cinnamon rolls I often enjoyed at local Charleston bakeries.
While the French toast bites are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and milk until smooth and pourable.
Once the French toast bites are out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly before drizzling the cream cheese glaze over the top.
