Crunchy French Toast
Report
Crunchy French Toast coats thick bread slices with a cinnamon-vanilla egg batter and a crispy rice cereal crust, delivering a textural contrast between a tender interior and a crunchy exterior. This breakfast option offers a sweet, cinnamon-spiced flavor with added texture from the cereal coating for a different take on classic French toast.
Description
The recipe involves mixing eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to form a batter. Thick slices of bread are dipped in the batter, then pressed into a layer of crispy rice cereal, which adds a crunchy coating during cooking. The coated bread slices are cooked on a griddle or skillet until golden on both sides, producing crisp outsides and soft interiors.
This version of French toast is well-suited for breakfast or brunch when a crunchy texture and vanilla-cinnamon flavor are desired. Serving warm with syrup complements the sweet and crispy characteristics.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 large egg
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 thick slices bread (like Texas Toast)
- 2 heaping cups crispy rice cereal or crushed corn flakes
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or or heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add cereal to a shallow pie dish or plate. Add all ingredients, except the bread and cornflakes to a blender or to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. If whisking by hand, it's okay if the flour doesn't mix in completely smooth.
- Add the batter and the cereal to two separate shallow dishes. Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture on both sides and then press gently into the cereal, flipping to coat both sides.
- Melt a small piece of butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat (or grease with cooking spray). Place the bread slices on the hot skillet and cook for a few minutes until golden on the bottom and then flip and cook on the other side.
- Serve warm with your your favorite syrup.
