Description

This delicious Captain Crunch French Toast recipe combines classic French toast with the crunchy sweetness of Cap’n Crunch cereal for an irresistible breakfast treat. Brioche bread slices are dipped in a vanilla and cinnamon egg mixture, coated in crushed Cap’n Crunch, and pan-fried in butter until golden and crispy on the outside while soft inside. Perfect for a fun and flavorful morning indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast Mixture

  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

For the Coating

  • 1 cup Cap’n Crunch® Cereal, crushed

For the Toast and Cooking

  • 4 slices Brioche bread
  • 4 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  2. Crush the cereal: In a separate bowl, crush 1 cup of Cap’n Crunch cereal into smaller pieces to create a crunchy coating for the French toast.
  3. Coat the bread: Take one slice of brioche bread at a time and dip it first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully soaked. Then press it into the crushed cereal bowl, coating both sides thoroughly with the cereal crumbs.
  4. Heat the pan and butter: Place a frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let the butter melt and coat the surface of the pan, ensuring it is sufficiently buttery for a crispy outer layer.
  5. Fry the French toast: Transfer the coated bread slice to the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side. Add more butter as needed for subsequent slices to maintain crispiness.
  6. Keep warm: Once cooked, place the French toast slices in a warm oven to keep them hot until all pieces are ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use brioche bread for a rich, tender texture, but other soft breads like challah can also work.
  • Ensure the frying pan is well-buttered to achieve a crispy and golden crust.
  • If desired, serve with syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • To keep all slices warm, preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and place cooked French toast on a baking sheet while finishing the rest.
