Crunchy French Toast

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices of Texas Toast bread thick-cut is the key to that soft-inside, crispy-outside magic
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups Cap’n Crunch cereal
  • 4 tbsp butter you’ll use half now and half later

Instructions
 

  • Pour the Cap’n Crunch into a Ziploc bag, seal it up tight, and crush it with a rolling pin. You want small pieces, but not dust, think crumbly with a little crunch left.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Set up two shallow bowls: one with your egg mixture and one with the crushed cereal.
  • Take a slice of Texas Toast, dip it in the egg mixture (make sure it’s fully coated), then press it gently into the crushed cereal. Get both sides nice and covered.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted and bubbly, cook your toast slices for about 6-8 minutes total, flipping halfway. You want them golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft in the middle.
  • Add your favorite toppings, syrup, berries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream (yes, ice cream for breakfast), or even a drizzle of peanut butter. There are no rules here!
