- Slice the bread into cubes.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and then whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla and milk.

- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until the muffins are golden, then serve warm.
Notes
Powdered sugar topping: These look pretty when you dust them with powdered sugar just before serving. Alternatively, drizzle over some sweet syrup or garnish with a sprig of mint or chopped fruit.
Freeze stale bread cubes: If you have some brioche, sourdough or Cuban bread that's dried out, don't toss it out with the trash. Just cut it into cubes and freeze so you can make French toast muffins in the future whenever you want.
Keep them light: Resist the urge to press the bread mixture down in the muffin tins before baking. The more you press them down, the denser they will get, which isn't what you want.
