Ingredients
-
1 cup milk, any variety
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
4 cups brioche, French bread, or sandwich bread, cut into 2-inch cubes
-
1 tablespoon butter or oil
-
16 strawberries, stems removed
-
16 grapes
-
2 bananas, sliced into ½-inch rounds
-
8 wooden skewers
-
Maple syrup, for dipping
Instructions
-
Prepare the egg mixture. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, honey, and cinnamon until well combined.
-
Coat the bread. Dip the bread cubes into the mixture, turning to coat all sides. Let excess liquid drip off to prevent soggy bread.
-
Cook the French toast. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bread cubes for about 1½ minutes per side, turning until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if needed.
-
Cool slightly. Transfer the French toast cubes to a plate and allow them to cool enough to handle.
-
Assemble the skewers. Thread the French toast cubes, strawberries, banana slices, and grapes onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients.
-
Serve. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve with maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
-
Choose sturdy bread: Brioche or French bread holds its shape well when dipped in the egg mixture.
-
Avoid oversoaking: A quick dip on each side helps the bread absorb the mixture without falling apart.
-
Cook in batches: Leave space between the cubes so they brown evenly.
-
Use ripe but firm fruit: Strawberries and bananas that hold their shape make assembly easier.
