Heart Shaped Challah Bread French Toast Bites

 Heart Shaped Challah Bread French Toast Bites Recipe Valentine's day is almost upon us and what better way to celebrate the person/people you love than these cute bites of love?!  Usually whenever I make French Toast, I let the bread sit overnight in the fridge in the egg mix, but I tried that with this recipe and it caused more issues (the bread falling apart). So, I highly recommend against using the  latter method and recommend frying your heart bites immediately after dipping it in your egg/milk batter while utilizing the low and slow method.  The low and slow method for me is cooking on a high temperature initially and lowering it to medium or low to slowly cook your bites while continually flipping them. ^This is what happens when you don't utilize the low and slow method. You get blobs instead of hearts. I was impatient initially because I was excited and this happened to me 😒  ^Patience is a virtue and will yeild beautiful results like this! You can use any shape you
