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.
