Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crunchy French Toast Delight.
Step 1
Start by whisking together the eggs and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Next, pour in the heavy cream, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk everything together until you have a creamy, flavorful batter that will soak into the bread beautifully.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, pour out the crushed Captain's Crunch cereal. This will be the crunchy coating that makes your French toast extra special. Set it aside for now, as we’ll be using it shortly.
Step 3
Now, take your thick slices of egg bread and dip them into the egg mixture, two slices at a time. Make sure to soak each piece for about 30 seconds on each side, allowing the egg mixture to penetrate the bread for maximum flavor and texture.
Step 4
Once soaked, gently press each slice into the crushed cereal, coating both sides thoroughly. This step is key to achieving that delightful crunch! Set the coated slices aside on a piece of waxed paper while you prepare to cook them.
Step 5
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter in the pan. Once the butter is sizzling and fragrant, it’s time to cook your French toast. Place the coated slices in the hot skillet, cooking them until they are golden brown on both sides, which should take about 3 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn!
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate and serve warm. You can top it with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
