Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 slices challah (each slice should be 3/4 to 1 inch thick, may substitute good white bread)
- 2 cups corn flakes, crumbled to about half their original size unsalted butter
- 2 -3 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- real maple syrup, warmed
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325°; butter a baking sheet.
-
In a shallow pie plate or shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt together.
-
Dunk the bread slices into the egg mixture and soak them for a few minutes on each side, turning as needed to coat evenly but not fully saturated.
-
Place the cornflakes on a plate; press each slice of bread lightly into the cornflakes, coating both sides.
-
Warm 2 tablespoons butter on a griddle or in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
-
Briefly cook the French toast in batches until golden brown and lightly crisp, turning once.
-
If you wish, sprinkle each slice with sugar; place the first slices on the baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
-
Continue cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
-
When all French toast is ready, serve with maple syrup.
