Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein and Base:
- 2 eggs
- 4 slices thick bread (brioche or white)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups Crunchy Nut cornflakes, crushed
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Liquid and Cooking Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth and well-combined.
- Crush Crunchy Nut cornflakes into fine, even crumbs in a shallow dish.
- Submerge each bread slice completely in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Carefully press the egg-soaked bread into crushed cornflakes, ensuring full and even coating on both sides.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat (around 350°F) until it starts to sizzle.
- Gently place coated bread slices into the hot pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the bottom turns golden and crisp.
- Flip the toast and cook the opposite side for an additional 2-3 minutes, achieving a uniform caramel-brown color and crunchy exterior.
- Transfer the finished French toast to a serving plate, maintaining a warm temperature.
- Generously drizzle with maple syrup, creating an indulgent breakfast that combines crispy texture with sweet, rich flavors.
Notes
- Toast gets extra crunch by coating bread with Crunchy Nut cornflakes, creating a delightful textural contrast to the soft, eggy interior.
- Use day-old bread for better absorption of egg mixture, preventing soggy results and ensuring a crisp exterior.
- Crush cornflakes coarsely to maintain larger pieces, delivering maximum crunchiness and preventing a powdery coating.
- For gluten-free option, swap regular bread with gluten-free bread and use certified gluten-free cornflakes to accommodate dietary needs.
