Cap'n Crunch French Toast

"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."

directions

  • 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.

  1. Well I can tell you that I have been to that very diner in the USA, and tried the Capn Crunch French Toast. This recipe HIT IT DEAD ON. Nice job!
     
  2. I forgot to mention that the only difference was I used soy milk instead of heavy cream due to allergies in the family. Either way the recipe is out of this world !!!
     
  3. This has to be the best french toast I have ever eaten. The Captain Crunch gives it a nice crunchy sweet coating that caramelizes as it cooks. I will prepare my french toast like this from now on!
     
  4. I did a variation of this by just putting eggs, milk, 1 Tb baking powder,vanilla, & cinnamon together. Crushing Cap'n Crunch. and dredging the Texas Toast through the liquid then the crunch. I have always cooked the french toast in about 1" of hot cooking oil. What a great recipe. My 7 kids can't get enough of these in the morning!!!!
     
  5. My husband and I also saw it on TV. I am not a big french toast person and never was, but I love it. We make it every once in awhile. So Good, So Good, So Good!
