How to Make Crunchy French Toast

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or heat a skillet over medium heat.


2. Add cereal to a shallow pie dish or plate. Add all ingredients, except the bread and cornflakes, to a blender or a shallow dish and whisk well to combine.


3. Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture on both sides and then press gently into the cereal, flipping to coat both sides.

How to Store Crunchy French Toast

Tips to Make Crunchy French Toast

• Use thick slices of bread to ensure the French toast holds its shape and texture after coating.


• Press the cereal firmly onto the bread slices to ensure a crispy exterior.


• Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar to suit your taste preferences.

Variation

For a fruity twist, add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries between the bread slices before dipping in the egg mixture and cereal. This adds a burst of freshness to the dish.
