This gluten-free brioche French toast bites recipe may be your favorite new dessert or brunch buffet treat! The thick, fluffy, gently sweet gluten-free brioche burger buns (we use Canyon Bakehouse brand) soak up so much of the custardy batter that the result is melt-in-your-mouth creamy French toast perfection that leans toward creme brulee bread pudding in flavor. Even more fun: they’re one-bite goodness that doesn’t even require silverware or a plate! Here’s another secret: if you soak the halved brioche buns in the batter without cutting them into smaller pieces and follow the instructions, you’ll have your new favorite French toast recipe!

Calories 104kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 Canyon Bakehouse brioche hamburger buns
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Juice of 1/2 orange
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter as needed
  • 1 Tablespoon Confectioners' sugar for serving (optional)
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • Slice each bun in half, then slice each half into 8 triangles like a pizza. In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, orange juice, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla until combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a large, shallow bowl and distribute the brioche slices in the mixture, occasionally gently pushing them down to soak until they are well saturated, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Working in batches, place the brioche slices in the bubbling butter in a single layer. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the brioche is just golden brown, 3 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with powdered sugar and maple syrup, and serve with toothpicks or a large spoon.

Notes

Halve the recipe to serve 8 (or make 4 pieces of French toast).
Freeze cooked leftovers and warm them in the oven next time you want a breakfast-y treat!
