Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 slices challah (each slice should be 3/4 to 1 inch thick, may substitute good white bread)
2 cups corn flakes, crumbled to about half their original size
unsalted butter
2 -3 tablespoons sugar (optional)
real maple syrup, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°; butter a baking sheet.
  • In a shallow pie plate or shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt together.
  • Dunk the bread slices into the egg mixture and soak them for a few minutes on each side, turning as needed to coat evenly but not fully saturated.
  • Place the cornflakes on a plate; press each slice of bread lightly into the cornflakes, coating both sides.
  • Warm 2 tablespoons butter on a griddle or in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Briefly cook the French toast in batches until golden brown and lightly crisp, turning once.
  • If you wish, sprinkle each slice with sugar; place the first slices on the baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
  • Continue cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
  • When all French toast is ready, serve with maple syrup.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the custard mixture next time.

I'm not a fan of the crunchy coating. I prefer my French toast to be soft and fluffy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread that's about to go bad, so this is a perfect way to use it up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my French toast didn't turn out as crunchy as I expected. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?
