The key here is to finely crush the cornflakes and nuts. I use my hand cranked nut chopper and just put them all thru it together. The combinations on this are endless, we like maple flavoring with pecans or walnuts, but use almond or vanilla extract with almonds, or butter flavoring with peanuts! Enjoy using your imagination! Ingredients:
3 large eggs |
1/2 cup milk |
1/3 cup half-and-half |
1 teaspoon maple extract (or sub your choice) |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 cups corn flakes, finely crushed |
2/3 cup nuts, finely crushed (we like pecans or sub your choice) |
2 tablespoons butter |
8 slices bread, dry, day old is best |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a shallow baking dishm I use a pie pan and set aside.
3. Combine the cornflakes and nuts in another shallow dish, I use a paper plate.
4. Melt 1/3 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over low heat.
5. Dip 2 slices of bread in the egg mixture and lightly coat each side.
6. Transfer the slices to the cornflake mixture, turn to coat, and place in the prepared skillet.
7. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, transfer to a baking sheet, and set aside.
8. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.
9. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Serve immediately or keep warm in 200 degree oven.
