Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick bread (like challah or brioche)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons butter (for frying)

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions
 

Begin by cutting the thick bread slices into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.

      Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt.

        Dip each bread cube into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated but not overly soaked. Allow excess mixture to drip off.

          Place the coated bread cubes into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more butter as needed for frying.

            Once the bites are cooked, remove them from the skillet and immediately toss them with a mixture of the remaining cinnamon and sugar until evenly coated.

              Transfer the cinnamon swirl French toast bites to a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar.

                Serve warm with maple syrup on the side for dipping.
