Ingredients
Scale
For the French Toast
- 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
- Pinch of salt
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
For Serving
- Whipped cream
- Syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the griddle: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat to about 325-350°F to ensure even cooking 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 smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture into a shallow baking dish for easy soaking.
- Coat the bread slices: Place each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 20-30 seconds per side to absorb the flavor without becoming too soggy. Then, dip each soaked slice into a separate shallow dish filled with Fruity Pebbles, pressing gently to adhere the cereal to both sides.
- Prepare the cooking surface: Lightly butter the griddle or spray it with cooking oil to prevent sticking and promote a crisp, golden crust.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices on the hot griddle or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy, adjusting heat as needed to avoid burning.
- Serve: Top the cooked Fruity Pebbles French toast with whipped cream and syrup. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crunchy, sweet cereal with warm, soft toast.
Notes
- Using thick slices of bread like brioche or Texas toast helps maintain structure and prevents sogginess.
- Soak the bread briefly to avoid falling apart while cooking.
- Press the cereal gently so it sticks well without falling off.
- Adjust griddle heat as necessary to cook evenly without burning the colorful cereal coating.
- This recipe is best served immediately for optimal crunch and texture.
