How to Make Crunchy Maple Nut French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow dish (pie plate), whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup half-and-half, 1 teaspoon maple extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate shallow dish (paper plate), combine 1 cup crushed cornflakes and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  4. Melt 1/3 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  5. Dip 2 slices of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  6. Press the bread into the cornflake mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
  7. Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the cooked French toast to a baking sheet.
  9. Repeat steps 4-7 with the remaining butter and bread slices.
