Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche bread
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 2 cups Crushed cornflakes
- 0 (for serving, optional) Maple syrup
- 0 (for garnish, optional) Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Crush the cornflakes into small, coarse pieces and place them in a shallow dish. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Step 3
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soaked.
Step 4
Press each soaked slice of bread into the crushed cornflakes, gently pressing down to coat each side with the crispy flakes.
Step 5
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 6
Place 2-3 slices of coated bread in the skillet (depending on the size of your skillet) and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cornflake crust is crisp.
Step 7
Add more butter to the skillet as needed and repeat with the remaining slices of French toast.
Step 8
Serve hot, topped with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.
