Captains Crunch French Toast Recipes

CAP'N CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix together cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
• Crush cereal by placing in plastic storage bag and rolling over it with a rolling pin. Once it resembles cracker meal, transfer to a shallow dish.
• Moisten a couple pieces of bread in cream mixture until soft but not completely soaked. Allow excess liquid to drip off bread, then press into the cereal crumbs to coat evenly. Set on a sheet pan and repeat with remaining slices.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Adding butter as needed, cook bread on both sides until it caramelizes, about 6 to 8 minutes total.
• TOPPING:.
• In large bowl using a hand mixer beat the cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
• Dollop on top of the French toast and serve with the berries.

CRUNCHY FRENCH TOAST STICKS

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a pie plate. Add the half-and-half, vanilla, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Whisk lightly until combined; set aside.
• In a separate pie plate, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, crushed cereal and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Use a fork to stir in the melted butter so that the crumbs are slightly moist. Crack up at the madness that is in this dish, then set it aside.
• One by one, quickly dunk the bread strips in the egg mixture, turning to coat. Then lay them in the dish with the crumb mixture, turning them over, sprinkling and pressing so the crumbs totally cover the surface. Place the sticks on a rack set in a baking sheet. Flash-freeze for 30 minutes to set the surface.
• Transfer the sticks to zipper bags for storage in the freezer. I do smaller bags of 6 to 8 sticks each, but you can do larger batches if you prefer!
• To bake them from frozen state, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a pan with frozen sticks and bake until golden brown around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with warm pancake syrup for dipping and fruit to make you feel good about life!

CAP'N CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

CAPN CRUNCH-COATED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a blender. Blend 3 cups of Cap'n Crunch Cereal. Pour out on a plate or large bowl big enough to lay a slice of bread inches If you do not have a blender, you can put the cereal in a ziplog type bag and roll with a rolling pen or a glass. Set aside.
• In a bowl, (I use a square plastic dish the kind you put left over in and put in the fridge because it fit the bread slices so well). Break open the eggs and put them in the bowl. Add sugar and milk. Beat with a wisk or fork till blended as well as possible. Perfection is not needed here.
• When having kids help, it's better to freeze the bread the night before so it doesn't fall apart easily in the egg mixture. My kids over soak them in the mix and freezing the bread keeps it from getting too soggy and falling apart.
• Preheat your oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
• Dip the bread in the egg mixture, put in the Cap'n Crunch that was blended down to a fine golden mix. Coat the bread that was dipped in the egg mixture with the cereal mixture. Cook about a minute on each side or until golden light brown. Place on plate. Repeat till all the french toast is cooked. Serve with syrup or can be eaten without as finger food as this french toast is sweet just on it's own.
