Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Crunchy cereal (e.g., cornflakes or crispy rice cereal), crushed
- Optional toppings (e.g., maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries)
Instructions
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Spread the crushed cereal out evenly on a large plate or shallow dish. This will be used for coating the bread.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and vegetable oil to the skillet and let it melt, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly. Let the excess drip off before placing the bread onto the crushed cereal.
Press each side of the bread into the crushed cereal, ensuring it forms an even, crispy coating. Repeat this step with the remaining slices of bread.
Carefully transfer the cereal-coated bread slices to the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden brown and crisp.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving plate. Keep warm while repeating the process with the remaining slices.
Serve immediately with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries.
