Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for your French toast. A sturdy bread, such as challah or brioche, will hold up better to the coating and baking process.
  • Make sure your custard mixture is well-blended. Any lumps of egg or milk will make your French toast less smooth.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Leave some space between the pieces of French toast so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the French toast until it is golden brown and cooked through. The center of the French toast should be firm when you insert a toothpick.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Cornflake-coated baked French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both satisfying and delicious. The cornflake coating adds a crispy texture to the French toast, while the custard mixture ensures that the inside is moist and tender. Whether you serve it with butter, syrup, or fruit, this dish is sure to be a hit.
