  • • 1 tsp. measuring spoon
  • • ½ tsp. measuring spoon
  • • 1 glass measuring cup
  • • 1 whisk – (to combine the egg mixture)
  • • 1 spatula

 

 

Ingredients Needed

 

• • • 6 slices - White Bread- 1-inch-thick slices of bread. Texas Toast or Brioche Bread is great too.
  • • 4 cups of cornflakes - fine crumbs – Fresh Cornflake cereal is best
  • • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • • 3 tbsps. butter
  • • 4 large eggs
  • • ½ tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
  • • ½ cup milk or half and half
  • • Maple syrup

 

Step 1: How to Make This Easy Recipe

  Place 4 cups of cornflakes in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Add the crushed corn flakes and 1 tsp. cinnamon to a shallow dish or pie plate and combine. Set aside. Cindy’s Note: If you don’t have a food processor. Place your corn flakes in a plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush corn flakes into fine crumbs.

      Step 2: Whip Up the Egg for the French Toast   In a pie plate or shallow dish, combine eggs, vanilla extract, and milk and whisk until the egg mixture is airy and light.

 

Step 3: How to Turn Bread Slices into a Delicious Breakfast   Remove bread from egg batter and gently press each slice of bread into corn flakes. Completely covering the bread slices with cornflake cereal crumbs.   Working with one slice of bread at a time, dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture. Remove the bread from the egg batter and let the excess egg drip off into the shallow dish. Place a large skillet or your nonstick skillet over medium heat. Continue this process with the remaining slices of bread. I find it best to push the cornflake mixture onto the bread.

 

Step 4: Cook Your Cornflake Crusted French Toast Recipe   Add one tablespoon of butter to coat the bottom of your large skillet.  Cook each slice of bread until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining melted butter, vegetable oil and white bread.   Cindy’s Tip: You can place your prepared cornflake French toast on a large sheet tray until ready to cook. Push the excess bread crumbs to the side while cooking the slices of bread. You don’t want burnt crumbs on your bread slices. This is a common mistake with cornflake French toast.   Serve this crunchy French toast recipe with warm maple syrup, slices of butter, or your favorite toppings.   Cindy’s Syrup Tip: Heat the syrup in the microwave for one minute. I add a ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. It takes this easy recipe to the next level.
