Description
A Disneyland-inspired cornflake crusted French toast with a crispy golden exterior and a soft, custardy center, perfect for turning an ordinary breakfast into a nostalgic, indulgent treat.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
4 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah)
2 cups cornflakes, crushed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Butter or oil, for cooking
1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Maple syrup, for serving
Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- In another shallow dish, combine crushed cornflakes and flour.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly on both sides.
- Press the soaked bread into the cornflake mixture, coating evenly.
- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook French toast slices until golden brown and crispy on each side, about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Transfer to plates and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries.
Notes
Press the cornflake coating firmly to help it adhere.
Use thick-cut bread to prevent sogginess.
Reheat leftovers in the oven or skillet to maintain crispness.
Leave cornflakes slightly chunky for extra crunch.
