Ingredients
- 1 slice of bread
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- A handful of corn flakes (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your slice of bread. For the best results, choose bread that’s not too thin, as it can become fragile. Cut the slice in half to make it easier to handle.
Step 2
Now, let’s create the egg batter that will make your French toast wonderfully soft. Crack 1 fresh egg into a shallow bowl.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the egg. You can adjust the sugar quantity according to your preference for sweetness.
Step 4
Pour in 1 tablespoon of milk. The milk adds a lovely moisture and richness to the batter, contributing to a more delicious French toast.
Step 5
Whisk everything together thoroughly with a fork or whisk until well combined and smooth. This batter will help create a tender French toast.
Step 6
Time to prepare the secret ingredient for crispiness: the cereal! Place a generous amount of corn flakes into a zip-top bag.
Step 7
Gently crush the corn flakes inside the bag using a rolling pin or your hands. Aim for a chunky texture rather than a fine powder, as this will provide a better crunch. Spread the crushed cereal evenly on a plate or a shallow pan.
Step 8
Dip each half of the prepared bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 10 seconds per side to absorb the batter without becoming too soggy.
Step 9
Place the egg-coated bread onto the crushed cereal, with the wet side down,
Step 10
and press gently to adhere the cereal flakes firmly to the bread. Flip the bread over and repeat the process, pressing the other side into the cereal to ensure a complete coating. Evenly covering the bread with cereal is key to achieving maximum crispiness.
Step 11
Heat about 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over low heat. Cooking on low heat is crucial; it allows the exterior to become golden and crispy without burning, while ensuring the inside remains perfectly moist. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
Step 12
The finished Cereal French Toast boasts an impressive crispness and delightful sweetness that is sure to impress. The contrast between the crunchy cereal exterior and the soft, tender interior is truly exceptional.
Step 13
Your Cereal French Toast is ready! With its wonderfully crispy crust and moist center, it’s a delicious treat that’s perfect for a quick breakfast or a satisfying snack anytime you crave something tasty. Enjoy making this delightful dish, perhaps even with the kids!
