French Toast Cakes
These are basically just French Toast, but in hand-sized form. They're easy to make for a crowd of hungry kiddos (both full grown and small ones).
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 4 eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 6 cups cubed bread, tightly packed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a squares pan or a regular muffin tin or an 8” square cake pan.
- Whisk together the eggs and yolk. Heat the milk in the microwave for 1 minute, then add into the eggs. Add in the sugar, vanilla and cinnamon and whisk to combine well.
- Add the bread cubes and toss to combine; let the bread absorb the liquid.
- Spoon into the prepared pan, then bake for 15-20 minutes (muffins) or 30 minutes (cake pan), until a toothpick comes out clean. If the tops start to brown too much, cover with tinfoil.
Notes
- The original recipe calls for 4 cups bread, but I found that too eggy. Alternatively, you could reduce the liquid amount.
- Use a nice fluffy white bread or brioche or challah.
