Total Time:23 minutes
Yield:6 servings
Ingredients
Bread
6 slices Texas Toast Bread
Egg Mixture
3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
Coating
2 cups Cap’n Crunch Cereal
Cooking
4 tbsp butter
Instructions
Crush Cereal: Place 2 cups of Cap’n Crunch cereal in a Ziploc bag and crush it using a rolling pin until it forms fine crumbs for coating.
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until fully combined.
Set Up Bowls: Arrange two shallow bowls: one filled with the egg mixture and the other with the crushed Cap’n Crunch cereal for dipping and coating the bread.
Coat Bread: Dip each slice of Texas Toast into the egg mixture, making sure to soak both sides, then press each side into the crushed cereal to coat thoroughly. Repeat for all slices.
Cook French Toast: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated bread slices and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the French toast is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Serve: Serve immediately with your choice of syrup, ice cream, or fresh berries for an extra special treat.
Notes
Use Texas Toast or similarly thick bread for best results to hold the coating well.
For easier coating, press the cereal firmly onto the dipped bread to ensure it sticks well.
If desired, substitute heavy cream with whole milk for a lighter version, but the texture may be less rich.
Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the cereal coating while ensuring the inside is cooked.
Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
