Ingredients:
• 6 slices of bread, cubed
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup of milk
• 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup of melted butter
• Additional melted butter for brushing
• Additional cinnamon sugar for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until everything is well mixed.
3. Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture and toss until all the bread is coated evenly.
4. Drizzle the melted butter over the bread mixture and toss it again to make sure everything is combined.
5. Spoon the bread mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup all the way to the top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set.
7. Once they’re done, take the muffins out of the oven and let them cool a bit in the tin.
8. Brush the tops of the muffins with some additional melted butter and sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar.
9. Serve your cinnamon sugar French toast muffins while they’re still warm.
Notes:
• You can use any type of bread for this recipe, but brioche or challah work particularly well.
