"French toast bites are a relatively new invention, but they're quickly becoming a breakfast staple. They're easy to make, they're delicious, and they're a great way to use up leftover croissants. The first French toast bites were created in the early 2000s by a group of chefs at a restaurant in San Francisco. They were looking for a way to use up some leftover croissants, and they came up with the idea of cutting them into cubes and frying them in a pan. The result was a crispy, fluffy, and delicious breakfast treat. French toast bites quickly became popular at the restaurant, and they soon spread to other restaurants and cafes around the country. Today, French toast bites are a popular breakfast item all over the world."
