These are called french toast puffs and they’re the most delicious version of french toast ever! A crispy and crunchy outside with a soft, almost doughy like, puff inside. Seriously amazing! See below the pics for the recipe. I’ve been contemplating starting a “Sweet Mornings” Monday breakfast series on Sugar and Charm, featuring some really tasty breakfast recipes. Maybe it could be bi-monthly. I’m a big fan of brunch and sometimes I even eat breakfast for dinner, ha! I think it’s safe to say that it’s my favorite meal of the day. I also want to experiment with recipes because I need to build up a good list of weekend breakfast options for when my little boy can eat! What do you all think?
Ingredients
- 1 loaf french bread
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil, or more if needed
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Cut the french bread roll into 1-2″ cubes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla paste.
- Add the bread cubes into the bowl with the egg mixture and move them around until they’ve all been coated. Let them soak for a few minutes.
- In the meantime, heat the oil and butter in a frying pan. When the oil is hot, place the cubes in the pan.
- Turn them often so they don’t burn on one side.
- Once they become a dark golden brown, remove them. Add butter, syrup and powdered sugar to the top. Enjoy

I love any variation of French toast. I make Paula Deen’s French toast casserole every year for Christmas morning. I can’t make it any other time, or I’ll eat it all. So amazingly good. This looks awesome because I could do smaller batches.
These are definitely going to be on the menu next weekend! I love all your recipes!

This looks so yummy!! I need to try them next week-end 🙂
Thanks for sharing!! (I still wonder why they are called French toast since it’s not something that we’re used to cooking, but you got me soooo hungry!)
I think it’s called French Toast because it uses french bread? I don’t know, haha!!
Yum! I love the idea of a Sweet Mornings series. I’m always on the lookout for new twists on traditional breakfast fare.
I can’t wait to try this recipe.

You know I’m French & I never ate that ! But that looks yummy !
Hahah!! Yeah, I don’t think it’s very popular in France! But, we use what we call french bread to make it! It’s really yummy!!!
These look soooo yummy! I can’t wait to make them. I was just telling my Hubby today that I really want to have a brunch party soon. 🙂
Wow!! I’m already hungry, it looks so yummy!
I discovered your blog two weeks ago and I can say now that I’m addicted to it! 🙂

Looks amazing, I can’t wait to try them. Bring on the brunch recipes…I’m a huge fan!
Can vanilla extract be substituted for the vanilla bean paste? I’m not sure where to find that.
Yes! I just like vanilla bean paste because it has a rich vanilla flavor, but vanilla extract is good too!
I used this recipe this morning and it turned out delicious! Thanks so much 🙂
These look to die for! My kids will go nuts for these!
I would love to have you link up with us at the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week!
