- 2 eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gather all the ingredients needed to make these delicious Cereal French Toasts. With just bread, cereal, and eggs, you can easily create this delightful dish.
Step 2
Prepare the cereal that will give your toast its crispy coating. Place the cereal in a resealable bag and lightly crush it with your hands or a rolling pin. It’s best to leave some texture rather than crushing it too finely, so you get a satisfying crunch.
Step 3
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them thoroughly with a fork or whisk to create a smooth egg batter. You can add a tiny pinch of salt or sugar for extra flavor (optional).
Step 4
Cut the bread slices into easy-to-eat portions. Long stick shapes are generally convenient for French toast. Cut each bread slice into three equal strips, about 2-3 cm thick.
Step 5
Dip each bread stick into the prepared egg batter, coating both sides evenly. Let the bread soak for about 10-20 seconds to allow the egg mixture to fully penetrate the bread. Be careful not to soak it for too long, as the bread can become soggy.
Step 6
Place the egg-soaked bread sticks onto the crushed cereal. Gently press the bread into the cereal, coating both sides thoroughly. Ensuring the cereal adheres well will result in a wonderfully crispy toast when cooked.
Step 7
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Place the cereal-coated bread sticks in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides. Flip to cook the other side until equally golden. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent the cereal from burning. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 8
Arrange the perfectly cooked Cereal French Toasts on a plate. Enjoy them warm for the best crispy exterior and soft, moist interior. You can also serve them with maple syrup, honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar according to your preference. Enjoy your delicious meal!
