Crunchy Cereal French Toast with Fresh Berries
French Toast is such a classic American breakfast recipe. But, I have to admit, I find regular white bread dipped in egg French toast more than a little boring. This Crunchy Cereal French Toast with Fresh Berries, however, is a crispy, crunchy, eggy sweet delight.
Excellent French toast, starts with great bread, and challah is my bread of choice for most French toast. I like to make my own challah in my bread machine, but good bakery challah is a fine substitute for homemade. I try to slice my bread about an inch thick, and then I dip it in eggs and heavy cream, but you can certainly use milk instead. Next, I crush slightly sweet honeyed cornflakes, and dip the egged bread in that. You could of course use plain cornflakes. After that, I fry the challah in lots of butter and then top everything with fresh berries.
Crunchy Cereal French Toast with Fresh Berries
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 4 tbsp. heavy cream
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 4 cups honeyed corn flakes, crushed
- 8 slices of Bread Machine challah (see previous recipe)
- 4 tbsp. butter
- 2 cups raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries
Instructions
- Beat the eggs with the cream and cinnamon, in one bowl. In the second bowl place the crushed cornflakes.
- In a non-stick skillet melt 2 tablespoons of the butter on medium heat. Dip two slices of bread in eggs, briefly. You shouldn't soak the bread in the egg. Then dip the bread in the cornflakes, making sure both sides are well crusted. Fry the bread on each side, until golden. Repeat with rest of bread, using more butter as needed.
- Top with berries and serve.
