Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 cups Honey Nut Cheerios
- 8 thick slices good quality bread
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle to 350 degrees (or a fry pan to medium) and grease lightly.
- Place your cereal in a plastic bag and remove as much air as you easily can. Gently crush your cereal. You don't want crumbs but you want it to not be perfectly regular pieces anymore.
- In a bowl, add your eggs and whisk until smooth. Add the milk and vanilla and whisk again until the mixture is fully incorporated. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk again briefly, just to get the spices throughout your custard mixture.3 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Slice your bread into 1 inch thick slices.
- Prep your station by having the bread set up first, the custard mix in a bowl next, and the crushed cereal in a plate with a lip last.3 cups Honey Nut Cheerios, 8 thick slices good quality bread
- Dip your bread into the custard mix, letting it soak in just a little bit on each side but not fully saturating the slice. Gently press the bread into the cereal to coat the top and bottom, then place on your griddle.
- Continue with the remaining bread slices. Cook on each side for about five minutes each, flipping carefully with a spatula to ensure the cereal stays in place.
- Once both sides are lightly browned and the French toast is cooked through, serve immediately.
Notes
- Make this with any cereal you like, and this easily doubles or triples to feed a crowd.
