Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Trim the crusts off the thick white bread slices and cut each slice into 9 uniform cubes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon and mix well.
  4. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Dip half of the bread cubes into the custard mixture, allowing excess to drip off before placing them in the skillet.
  6. Cook the soaked bread cubes for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally.
  7. Transfer the hot cubes to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss to coat thoroughly.
  8. Add more butter as needed and repeat the cooking process with the remaining bread cubes.
  9. Serve warm on a platter, drizzled with maple syrup, and consider adding fresh fruit or whipped cream.
