Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices brioche bread or french bread (day old/stale is best)
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups cinnamon toast crunch cereal
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- serving suggestions: powdered sugar, whipped cream, berries, vanilla syrup, etc
Instructions
- Slice the bread into sticks, cutting French bread into 3/4-inch thick slices and then into 2–3 sticks, or cut each slice of Brioche into 4 sticks. Set aside uncovered.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Blend the cereal into fine crumbs in a blender or food processor, then transfer to a shallow bowl.
- Dip each bread stick in the egg mixture, then roll in the cereal crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the remaining sticks.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low or an electric griddle to 375°F. Melt a pat of butter in the skillet.
- Arrange the coated bread sticks in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
- Transfer cooked sticks to a wire rack. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with remaining sticks. Serve warm with powdered sugar, berries, and syrup.
