Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)
2 cups cornflakes, crushed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Maple syrup (for serving)
Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 2: Place the cornflakes in a zip-top bag and crush them lightly with a rolling pin or your hands until coarsely crushed. Transfer to a shallow dish, then mix in the all-purpose flour.
Step 3: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for a few seconds on each side. Then press each slice into the cornflake mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
Step 4: Heat a tablespoon of butter or oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 5: Add the coated French toast slices to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 6: Transfer cooked French toast to plates. If desired, dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup and fresh berries.

Tips & Variations

Try using different breads like sourdough, whole wheat, or gluten-free for unique flavors and textures.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or almond extract to the egg mixture for added warmth and complexity.
Top with sliced bananas, strawberries, or a berry compote for a fresh and fruity touch.

Storage

Store leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, use a toaster or warm gently in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
