Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 cups Captain Crunch cereal
- 4 slices Thick-cut bread slices (brioche or challah recommended)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking)
- 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)
- 0 optional Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Step 2
Place the Captain Crunch cereal into a large zip-top bag. Crush the cereal with a rolling pin or your hands until you achieve a coarse texture. Transfer the crushed cereal to a shallow dish or plate.
Step 3
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, swirling it around to coat the pan.
Step 4
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated, but do not soak it for too long to avoid sogginess.
Step 5
Immediately press the soaked bread into the crushed Captain Crunch cereal, coating both sides generously with the cereal.
Step 6
Place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding the remaining butter to the pan as needed.
Step 7
Serve The Captain's French Toast hot with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!
