A delightful twist on classic French toast, featuring a crispy cinnamon coating.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Ensure the custard mixture is smooth for even coating.
Place the crushed cereal in a shallow dish for dredging.
Use a rolling pin to crush the cereal for a consistent texture.
Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Allow the bread to soak briefly to absorb the custard.
Dredge the soaked bread slices in the crushed cereal, pressing gently to adhere.
Press the cereal firmly for a crunchy coating.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the coated bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Transfer the cooked slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
This step ensures all slices are served warm and crispy.
Serve the French toast warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Get creative with toppings to personalize your dish.
