Ingredients

French Toast Puffs Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 5 tbsp vegetable oil, or more as needed
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Cut the bread: Slice the French bread loaf into 1 to 2-inch cubes to create perfect bite-sized pieces for soaking and frying.
  2. Prepare egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Soak bread cubes: Add the bread cubes into the egg mixture and gently toss them to coat all pieces evenly. Let them soak for a few minutes so the bread absorbs the mixture well.
  4. Heat oil and butter: Warm the vegetable oil and butter together in a frying pan over medium heat until hot and melted, creating the perfect environment for frying.
  5. Fry the bread cubes: Carefully place the soaked bread cubes into the hot pan. Continuously turn the cubes to brown all sides evenly and prevent burning. Fry until they become a dark golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Serve and garnish: Remove the French Toast Puffs from the pan and plate them. Top with additional butter, syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar to taste. Enjoy immediately while warm and crunchy.

Notes

  • Ensure the bread cubes are evenly soaked but not overly saturated to avoid sogginess.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for best frying results and easier cleanup.
  • Adjust cooking time and heat as needed to prevent burning while achieving a crispy crust.
  • Try different breads like brioche or challah for richer flavor and texture.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger groups.
