Ingredients
-
1 cup milk
-
4 eggs
-
2 teaspoon vanilla
-
1 1 pound unsliced round loaf artisan-style country white bread, cut into 2-inch cubes
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¾ cup sugar
-
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
3 - 4 tablespoon butter
-
Honey
-
Mascarpone Whipped Cream and/or fresh berries (optional)
Directions
-
In a large bowl whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Add bread cubes; toss. Let stand 5 minutes.
-
In a shallow dish stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
-
In a 10-inch skillet melt 2 Tbsp. of the butter over medium. Remove a few bread cubes from the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Add to skillet. Cook 3 minutes per batch,* turning to cook evenly until golden. Using tongs, immediately transfer bread cubes to cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll to coat. Repeat with remaining bread cubes, adding more butter to skillet as needed. Serve immediately with honey and, if you like, Mascarpone Whipped Cream and/or berries. Serves 6.
Mascarpone Whipped Cream
In a large chilled bowl beat together 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup mascarpone, and 2 Tbsp. honey with a mixer just until stiff peaks form.
Tips
To keep finished French Toast Cubes warm while you cook remaining batches, place on a 15×10-inch baking pan in a 200°F oven.
