Ingredients
  

1 loaf of brioche bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing)

1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, cut the brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Set aside for a moment.

    Mix the Custard: In a separate bowl, crack the two eggs. Add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

      Combine: Take the egg mixture and pour it over the brioche cubes in the large bowl. Gently toss the bread pieces until each cube is coated in the mixture. For extra flavor and texture, allow the cubes to soak for about 5-10 minutes, giving them time to absorb the custard.

        Prepare the Baking Tray: Use the unsalted butter to grease a baking sheet or a large oven-safe dish. This will prevent the mini French toast bites from sticking during baking.

          Bake the Bites: Spread the soaked brioche cubes out evenly on the greased baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cubes are golden brown and just slightly crispy on the outside.

            Serve: After baking, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer the warm bites to a serving platter, making sure to keep them somewhat separated for a lovely presentation.

              Garnish: Generously top the mini French toast bites with a handful of mixed berries. Drizzle a touch of maple syrup over the top for sweetness, and if desired, dust lightly with powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Serve warm and enjoy your delightful mini breakfast treat!
