How to Make Crunchy Crust French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the egg mixture. Whisk until well combined.
  4. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup crushed cornflakes and 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
  6. Dip 4 slices of bread (about 1-inch thick) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  7. Press the soaked bread slices into the cornflake-coconut mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  8. Carefully place the coated bread slices into the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Transfer the cooked French toast to an oven-safe platter and keep warm in the preheated oven while you cook the remaining slices.
  10. Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining bread slices.
  11. Serve immediately, drizzled with warm maple syrup and your favorite toppings (optional).
