Notes
- Cornflakes: Finely crushing the cornflakes will give you a more even coating.
- Sugar: The sugar helps the cornflake coating to caramelize as it cooks.
- Bread: It's important to use thick-sliced bread as it holds up better than sandwich bread. Sandwich bread can be too soft and can tear from the egg mixture.
- Milk: Any type of milk, including nondairy milks like almond milk, will work in this recipe.
