These Cinnamon French Toast Nuggets are the perfect make ahead breakfast that your kids will love!
My kids love French Toast sticks in the mornings for breakfast, but I don’t love all the additional ingredients in the store bought kind. So when I saw a crusty baguette sitting on my counter I decided to make french toast with it. When I served them up to my kids they decided to name then French Toast Nuggets. My three year old actually calls them French Toast Chicken Nuggets.
Ingredients
- Baguette – I used a long skinny baguette (about 18″ long) for this.
- Eggs – for the custard base.
- Heavy Cream – can swap for milk, but I love the richness that heavy cream adds
- Vanilla Extract – for the custard base
- Cinnamon – for both the custard mixture and the cinnamon sugar coating
- Sugar – granulated sugar for the cinnamon sugar coating at the end!
How to make Cinnamon French Toast Nuggets
- In a small bowl combine cinnamon sugar coating ingredients. Set aside for later.
- In a large bowl combine eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix to combine.
- Slice baguette into 1/2″ wide slices. Add slices to egg mixture and mix to coat evenly.
- Heat skillet to medium heat and butter the skillet.
- Place each bread slice onto the skillet and cook for 2-4 minutes or until bread turns golden brown. Flip and cook an additional 2-4 minutes.
- Remove slices from the skillet and toss in cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining slices.
- Enjoy immediately or place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the freeze and chill for 1-2 hours or until slices are solid. Store in an air tight container.
- Reheat in the airfryer at 400 for 6-7 minutes (flipping halfway) or in the oven at 300 for 15 minute (flipping halfway).
