- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Other Ingredients:
- 6 slices thick-cut bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
- 2 cups crushed cornflakes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Maple syrup and fresh berries for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Cornflake Coating: Place crushed cornflakes in a separate shallow dish. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, then press into the cornflakes, coating both sides.

- Day-old bread works best for French toast as it holds its shape better when dipped.
