These French Toast Nuggets are SO easy to make and FUN to eat!! With the kids being out of school in the summer soon, we can take a bit longer to make breakfast, and I have no doubt this will be on our menu weekly! Dip the nuggets in syrup or pile them on a plate, it’s up to you! This recipe is made from a skinny French baguette, so the nugget shape is already there. Just slice, coat, soak, and fry! I have step by step directions with photos below, or you can scroll down to the bottom for the recipe.
How to Make French Toast Nuggets
You probably have most of these ingredients already in your pantry, minus the skinny French baguette. (At least, we don’t usually have those lying around our house. Ha!)
Ingredients for French Toast Nuggets
- Skinny French baguette, sliced into 3/4-inch pieces
- Eggs
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla
- Milk
- Butter, for the skillet
Instructions for Nugget French Toast
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cinnamon, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla. Place the baguette slices in a 9×13 pan and pour the egg mixture over them. Let sit for 10 minutes and flip them over. Let them sit for 10 more minutes, so they soak up a lot of the egg mixture.
Heat a griddle to medium-high and melt butter until it’s sizzling. Fry the French toast nuggets until golden on each side. I also cooked them on what would be the base of each baguette slice, as well, to ensure it’s cooked all the way through.
So, have you tried these, yet? Do you want to? Are you going to make them for your kids or for yourself? Ha! Enjoy this easy breakfast recipe, regardless of who you make it for!
What goes with French Toast Nuggets?
Of course, French Toast Nuggets could be a meal on their own. However, if you’d like a bigger breakfast, you could add scrambled eggs, a yogurt parfait, slices of bacon or sausage links! A bowl of fruit would go well with the nuggets, too!
