Description
A delightful French toast dish coated in crunchy cornflakes, reminiscent of magical mornings at Disneyland.
Ingredients
Scale
- Thick slices of brioche or challah (or white bread/sourdough)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup cornflakes (or flavored/gluten-free options)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
- Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Soak each side for 30 seconds.
- Pour cornflakes into a shallow dish, crushing them slightly for varied texture.
- Coat each slice of soaked bread in the cornflake mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter to coat the bottom.
- Cook the coated bread in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serve immediately, drizzled with warm maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Notes
For richer flavor, use stale bread to absorb the custard better and ensure not to rush the soaking process.
