Ingredients

8 slices thickly sliced bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
3 large eggs

1 cup milk
1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
Pinch of salt
Whipped cream and syrup for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat, aiming for 325-350˚F.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar (if using), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined. Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish. Fill another shallow dish with the Fruity Pebbles cereal.
Step 3: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, soaking each side for about 5-6 seconds. Then press both sides of the bread into the Fruity Pebbles to coat evenly.

Step 4: Lightly butter or spray the griddle or skillet with cooking oil.
Step 5: Place the coated bread slices on the griddle or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 6: Serve the French toast topped with whipped cream and syrup if desired.

Tips & Variations

Use sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast to hold up well when soaked and coated with cereal.
For extra richness, substitute half the milk with heavy cream.
Try different fruity cereals or crushed graham crackers as an alternative crust.

Serve with fresh fruit for a bright, fresh contrast.

Storage

Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the cereal crust crunchy. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can soften the coating.

How to Serve

The image shows several slices of French toast coated with colorful cereal pieces, arranged in groups on white plates and a white tray lined with parchment paper. One plate displays a stack of two slices topped with a swirl of white whipped cream and sprinkled with more cereal pieces, surrounded by a few whole red strawberries. Another plate holds a neat stack of three cereal-coated French toasts with bright, multicolored cereal bits on top. The white tray also contains multiple slices with the same cereal topping. Scattered cereal pieces and fresh strawberries fill empty spaces on a white marbled surface, while two glass bottles of white milk with striped paper straws add to the breakfast scene. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
