Ingredients:

  • equipment
  • 2 medium bowls (1 for the custard, one for the cornflakes)
  • 1.5 cup half and half
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey , microwave a few seconds to make warm and thin, not hot.
  • pinch of salt
  • stick of butter
  • 4 cups cornflakes cerial, coarsely crushed (palm of your hand and a gallon zipper bag)

Directions:

  1. THE NIGHT BEFORE:
  2. Slice French loaf into 1.5” slices and set them on your oven racks spaced an inch or two apart with the oven off and the door ajar to allow the bread to dry out a bit.
  3. In a bowl whisk the half and half and warm honey together until incorporated then add the eggs and continue whisking until they also are incorporated. Cover and refrigerated overnight.
  4. THE NEXT MORNING:
  5. PREPARATION:
  6. Remove bread from the oven and custard from the refrigerator.
  7. Crush corn flakes and put them in a large bowl.
  8. Preheat oven to 300F.
  9. MANUFACTURING:
  10. Soak the bread in the custard for 40-60 seconds on each side, then press into cornflakes to thoroughly coat. Adjust the soak time to make the internal gooeyness to your liking.
  11. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat, slightly fold back the wrapper of the butter like a banana peel and use to quickly coat with butter.
  12. Immediately place the toast into the buttered pan and cook for 3-4 min on each side, until the cornflakes brown a little.
  13. Remove toast from the griddle directly to baking sheet and bake in center of preheated oven for 5-7 minutes.
  14. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Top with butter, syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, or my fave, nothing at all.
