Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
-
8 slices white bread
-
2 large eggs
-
60 ml (¼ cup) milk
-
12 g (1 tbsp) sugar
-
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
-
45 g (3 tbsp) butter, for frying
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
-
50 g (¼ cup) sugar
-
1 tsp (2.5 g) ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
Tear each slice of bread into 4 pieces; roll each into a tight ball (remove crusts if desired).
-
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
-
Dip each bread ball briefly into the egg mixture to coat.
-
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Fry nuggets in batches, turning to brown evenly, about 4 minutes total.
-
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a zip-top bag.
-
While warm, toss nuggets in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
-
Serve warm with maple syrup, fruit, or yogurt.
Notes
Use day-old bread for better shape and texture.
Avoid over-soaking in the egg mixture to keep them from falling apart.
Freeze after cooking and reheat for quick weekday breakfasts.
Optional: serve with chocolate sauce or powdered sugar for a dessert-like twist.
