Bread
- 8 slices thickly sliced bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
Coating
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
For Cooking and Serving
- Butter or cooking spray for the griddle/pan
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Syrup (for serving)
- Preheat the Griddle: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat to approximately 325-350˚F, ensuring a warm surface for cooking the French toast evenly without burning.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, optional sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth. Transfer this mixture into a shallow baking dish suitable for dipping the bread slices.
- Dip the Bread Slices: Take each slice of bread and soak it in the egg mixture for about 20-30 seconds per side to ensure it absorbs the flavors and the liquid without becoming too soggy. Then, immediately dip each side of the soaked bread into the Fruity Pebbles cereal, gently pressing the cereal onto the bread to coat it well.
- Prepare the Cooking Surface: Lightly butter the griddle or pan, or spray it with cooking oil, to prevent sticking and to help achieve a golden crust on the French toast.
- Cook the French Toast: Place the coated bread slices on the preheated griddle and cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning the cereal crust.
- Serve: Remove the French toast from the griddle and serve warm. Top with whipped cream and syrup to taste for an extra indulgent breakfast experience.
Notes
- Thick bread like brioche or Texas toast works best for soaking without falling apart.
- Press Fruity Pebbles gently to prevent them from falling off during cooking.
- Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning the cereal coating.
- Optional sugar can be omitted for a less sweet egg mixture since the cereal and syrup add sweetness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and whipped cream with plant-based alternatives.
