CAPTAIN'S CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST

Inspired by a recipe I saw on television, I experimented with different combinations and came up with this. This is a delicious and unusual variation on plain old French Toast. Try it, I guarantee you'll love it! Thanks to the Blue Moon Cafe in Baltimore for the inspiration. Not for the diet conscious, but it tastes so good you won't care! Put bread in a warm oven to keep heated until the rest of the bread is done, if needed. Serve with a dollop of butter and warmed pure maple syrup, if desired.

CAP'N CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST

Based on a recipe from Guy Fieri's book, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: an All-American Road Trip...With Recipes! This celebrates the Blue Moon Café in Baltimore, Maryland. This is absolutely wonderful. My friend Eric, who loaned me this cookbook, slices the berries the night before and coats them with maple sugar and marinates them in the 'fridge overnight -- this makes them quite succulent by morning!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 12 slices, 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal
5 eggs
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup cooking oil

Steps:

  • In a blender. Blend 3 cups of Cap'n Crunch Cereal. Pour out on a plate or large bowl big enough to lay a slice of bread inches If you do not have a blender, you can put the cereal in a ziplog type bag and roll with a rolling pen or a glass. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, (I use a square plastic dish the kind you put left over in and put in the fridge because it fit the bread slices so well). Break open the eggs and put them in the bowl. Add sugar and milk. Beat with a wisk or fork till blended as well as possible. Perfection is not needed here.
  • When having kids help, it's better to freeze the bread the night before so it doesn't fall apart easily in the egg mixture. My kids over soak them in the mix and freezing the bread keeps it from getting too soggy and falling apart.
  • Preheat your oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
  • Dip the bread in the egg mixture, put in the Cap'n Crunch that was blended down to a fine golden mix. Coat the bread that was dipped in the egg mixture with the cereal mixture. Cook about a minute on each side or until golden light brown. Place on plate. Repeat till all the french toast is cooked. Serve with syrup or can be eaten without as finger food as this french toast is sweet just on it's own.

CAP'N CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST

After watching an episode of Food Network's Diner's, Drive Ins and Dives. My dh begged me to find the recipe. Since they only gave out ingredients on the show, but not quantities I googled to no avail. Never fear, Cap'n Mama's Kitchen went to work and came up with her own recipe! The French Toast is sweet on its own so skip the syrup here and top with some fresh fruit, flavored yogurt, a sprinkle of powdered sugar or other topping. Hope you enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal (Cap'n Crunch original cereal, not Crunch Berries)
10 slices Texas toast thick bread (thick sliced bread)
4 eggs
4 ounces plain yogurt (Milk will be much thinner so you may want to add a tsp of vinegar to make a buttermilk- balances the) or 4 ounces milk (Milk will be much thinner so you may want to add a tsp of vinegar to make a buttermilk- balances the)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
butter-flavored cooking spray or real butter

Steps:

  • Place the cereal in a gallon sized ziptop bag, remove air and seal. Crush the cereal into crumbs- the kids will have fun with this step. Do not use a food processor because the crumbs will be too fine.
  • Mix the eggs, yogurt, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together and place in a shallow dish.
  • Take 1 slice of bread, dip both sides in the egg mixture, then coat with the cereal crumbs. Spray a hot pan with butter flavored cooking spray or melt some butter in the pan. Add the coated bread to the pan and cook each side 2-3 minutes until light brown. Repeat for the other 9 slices of bread.
  • Since this is already sweet enough on its own you may want to skip the syrup and top with some fresh fruit, flavored yogurt, a sprinkle of powdered sugar or other topping. Hope you enjoy!
