Soft french toast with sweet cinnamon and crunchy crust. Perfect for breakfast, brunch or brinner.
Hello Friends!
How was your weekend? Good? I hope so.
Mine was pretty nice. We visited my mom and then,my in-laws. My kids are always excited to see their grandparents. My mom always has cookies or cupcakes, my mother in law always has Cheetos and giant pretzel rods.
It’s pure childhood bliss for their entire day. 🙂
Ok, now, let’s get to the food!
French toast. Talk about bliss.
This is real so easy, it’s nearly crazy. Nearly..but, not quite. I simply took my Easy French Toast, added some extra cinnamon,coated it with corn flakes, then, cooked them as usual. It adds a tremendously, lovely crunch to your french toast. You will wonder why you have been eating regular non-crunchy french toast up to this point in your life.
Top in with some warm butter and syrup. Bliss..yum.
Crunchy Cinnamon French Toast
Soft french toast with sweet cinnamon and crunchy crust. Perfect for breakfast, brunch or brinner!
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup crushed corn flake cereal
- about 12-14 slices of bread of your liking (Texas toast works really well)
Instructions
-
Heat frying pan or skillet to medium heat and spray with non stick cooking spray or use a tablespoon of butter to coat the pan.
-
Pour crushed cereal in a pie plate. Mix eggs, milk, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl, than, transfer to a separate pie plate.
-
Dip 1 slice of bread at a time into egg mixture and coat. Then, dip in corn flakes.
-
Put coated bread on skillet and cook until both sides are light brown. Usually only takes about a 2 minutes or so for each slice
Notes
- You don’t have to use corn flakes for this recipe. Any type of crunchy flaky cereal of your choice will be good to go

Ooh..coconut sounds great Marsha! I will have to try that next time! Thank you for stopping by and hosting 🙂
I am WILD about this wonderful dish. A local restaurant serves it and I always gobble it down. I have a similar recipe that mixes coconut with the crushed cornflakes. Thanks so much for sharing at Weekend Potluck.
Thank you for hosting and dropping by!

It does, right? They love it 🙂 Thanks for dropping by Karly and hosting, have a good day!
What a fun twist, a tender crunch for french toast! I think the flavor of corn flakes would taste really good with maple syrup too! I will have to give this a try. Thanks, Erin!
Thank you! It went really well with the syrup..I am going to try another type of crunchy cereal next time 🙂

I don't have any of my grandparents still living, and I don't have children yet.. But, I remember going to my maternal grandparents and eating the most amazing snacks- my grandmother always had hidden chocolate nuggets of goodness, cookies in the cookie jar and chips. 🙂
My grandfather used to make the most amazing belgian waffles. I used to think they just happened, but I later learned that he woke up really early in the morning to start the dough for us, then he'd go back to bed. 🙂
Gosh, after all of that rambling.. I was going to ask if you've made pumpkin pie french toast.. It's one of my favorites- I like to too, because pumpkin is always super cheap here, and there's nothing like fresh pumpkin. This one looks pretty good, too. 🙂
I came by way of your post about nachos a couple of years ago.. 🙂 I'm posting it to my weekly meal plan. 🙂
Hi Tammy..thanks for stopping by! Your grandparents sounds lovely 🙂 It's great to have so many nice memories, isn't it? I have not tried pumpkin french toast. I have seen it many places and it's on my list to try..just hoping my kids will go for it 🙂
