Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche bread
- 3 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Cornflakes cereal
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to create the French toast custard mixture.
In a separate shallow dish, mix the crushed cornflakes with the remaining 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Dip one slice of brioche bread into the egg custard mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let any excess liquid drip off.
Immediately press the dipped bread slice into the crushed cornflakes, coating both sides generously. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan.
Place 2-3 slices of the coated bread into the skillet (depending on the pan size, avoid overcrowding) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and keep warm. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and cook the rest of the bread slices.
Dust the finished French toast slices with powdered sugar and serve with warm maple syrup.
