The weekends are for brunch! And this delicious crusted french toast is perfect for it. Crispy on the outside, and sweet, fluffy cinnamon goodness on the inside. Serve this French toast with fresh fruit and top with whipped cream.
I can’t believe I waited so long to share this recipe with you all. I used to make this all the time in college. EVERY time I made it for my friends, they loved it. It’s a fun twist to the traditional French toast that we all know and love. Brioche bread dipped in a creamy, “cinamonny” egg batter, crusted with Frosted Flakes. I know, I know. Cinnamonny is not a word. Tryna paint a picture here. did you catch the vibe?
& Yes I said Frosted Flakes. An ode to my childhood favorites. French Toast, and Frosted Flakes. The collab you didn’t know you needed.
You can also try this recipe with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We’ve made it a few times and it was pretty good.. Buttt something about the Frosted Flakes keeps pulling me back, telling me I need it in my life. Word to Chingy. haha. let me stop.
