Serves 6 peopleIngredients
- 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)

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 9×13 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.
