Cap'n Crunch French Toast

Recipe #311788 | 1¼ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

By: chow n' groove
Jul 3, 2008

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.

SERVES 6 -8 , 11 slices (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    Combine eggs, sugar, cream, vanilla, and spices in a large bowl. It will have the consistency of custard.
  3. 3
    Soak each slice of Texas Toast in wet ingredients, 30 seconds each side. Be sure the edges are moist, too.
  4. 4
    Dredge in Cap'n Crunch, lightly press onto each side, and around the crust. Place on parchment paper until all slices are coated.
  5. 5
    Heat 2 tbs. butter in large skillet, then gently place slices in pan; two at a time.
  6. 6
    Cook three minutes per side. Place on parchment covered baking pan in a warm oven.

    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!

    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!!!!
