Ingredients
  

8 slices of brioche bread

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

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

Butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Begin by cutting each slice of brioche bread into small cubes, aiming for pieces that are about 1 inch in size. Place the cubes aside in a large mixing bowl.

    Make the Batter: In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Coat the Cubes: Carefully add the brioche bread cubes to the egg mixture. Gently toss the cubes until they are fully coated in the batter. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This will give the bread time to soak up the creamy goodness.

        Add Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the soaked bread. Gently fold the flour into the mixture until it is just combined, ensuring that the cubes are coated in a thicker layer.

          Preheat the Pan: In a large non-stick skillet or griddle, heat over medium heat. Once hot, add a pat of butter or spray with cooking spray to lightly grease the surface.

            Cook the Bites: Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the brioch cubes to the skillet. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Continue until all the bites are cooked and crispy.

              Serve with Berries: Arrange the warm mini french toast bites artfully on a serving platter. Top them generously with an assortment of mixed berries. If you desire an extra touch of sweetness, dust the bites with powdered sugar.

                Garnish: For added freshness and visual appeal, garnish the dish with a few sprigs of fresh mint leaves.

                  Enjoy your delightful Mini French Toast Bites with mixed berries as a perfect brunch treat or a fun snack!
