About the Recipe
This Crunchy French Toast recipe takes a beloved breakfast staple and adds an irresistible crunch. By coating the eggy bread in crispy rice cereal before frying, you get a wonderful contrast of textures – the soft, custardy inside and the delightfully crisp exterior. A dusting of powdered sugar adds a touch of sweetness, making this a fun and delicious way to start your day. Brioche or challah bread works particularly well for soaking up the egg mixture while maintaining its structure. 1
