Time 40m

Yield 36 sticks

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 cups sweetened corn and oat cereal, such as Cap'n Crunch, crushed to fine crumbs
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
12 slices Texas toast, each cut into 3 strips
Powdered sugar, for serving
Warm pancake syrup, for serving
Raspberries and blueberries, for serving

Steps:

  • Crack the eggs into a pie plate. Add the half-and-half, vanilla, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Whisk lightly until combined; set aside.
  • In a separate pie plate, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, crushed cereal and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Use a fork to stir in the melted butter so that the crumbs are slightly moist. Crack up at the madness that is in this dish, then set it aside.
  • One by one, quickly dunk the bread strips in the egg mixture, turning to coat. Then lay them in the dish with the crumb mixture, turning them over, sprinkling and pressing so the crumbs totally cover the surface. Place the sticks on a rack set in a baking sheet. Flash-freeze for 30 minutes to set the surface.
  • Transfer the sticks to zipper bags for storage in the freezer. I do smaller bags of 6 to 8 sticks each, but you can do larger batches if you prefer!
  • To bake them from frozen state, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a pan with frozen sticks and bake until golden brown around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with warm pancake syrup for dipping and fruit to make you feel good about life!

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!

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons sugar

3 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal
8 -10 slices bread, such as Texas toast or 8 -10 slices French bread

2 cups fresh seasonal berries, assorted

Steps:

I saw this prepared on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and they only shared ingredients, not amounts. After searching many french toast recipes, this is what my kids and I arrived at. You'll never search for another French toast recipe after this.

Time 1h15m

Yield 11 slices, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large eggs
5 tablespoons sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
1 (16 ounce) box Cap'n Crunch cereal (don't use the cheaper brands)
1 loaf Texas toast thick bread

Steps:

  • Pour Cap'n Crunch into a gallon-size ziplock bag and crush to a course meal -- make sure there are a few good size pieces in the mix. Pour into a 9x13 pan in order to dredge properly.
  • Combine eggs, sugar, cream, vanilla, and spices in a large bowl. It will have the consistency of custard.
  • Soak each slice of Texas Toast in wet ingredients, 30 seconds each side. Be sure the edges are moist, too.
  • Dredge in Cap'n Crunch, lightly press onto each side, and around the crust. Place on parchment paper until all slices are coated.
  • Heat 2 tbs. butter in large skillet, then gently place slices in pan; two at a time.
  • Cook three minutes per side. Place on parchment covered baking pan in a warm oven.

Tips:

  • Use stale French bread for the best results. Stale bread will absorb the egg mixture more evenly and result in a crispier, more flavorful French toast.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. Cook it in batches if necessary to prevent the slices from sticking together.
  • If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the French toast in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Cap'n Crunch French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With its sweet and crunchy coating, this French toast is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.
