Calories 302kcal
Ingredients
- 6 slices challah bread
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon quality vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Lay the bread slices in a casserole dish. Pour on the egg mixture. Allow to soak for 1 minute then flip the bread slices over. Allow to soak for about 10 minutes, until the bread has absorbed all the egg mixture.
- Crumble the cornflakes until each flake is about ½ the size of an original flake. Place the cornflakes in a shallow bowl, such as a pasta bowl.
- Heat a large (12-inch) non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. When the pan is hot, dip the French toast slices in the cornflakes, lightly pushing so the cornflakes stick to the bread slices.
- Cook about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the cornflakes are lightly browned and the french toast is cooked.
- Wipe down the skillet and repeat with the remaining slices.
