Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 slices challah (each slice should be 3/4 to 1 inch thick, may substitute good white bread)
  • 2 cups corn flakes, crumbled to about half their original size
  • unsalted butter
  • 2 -3 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • real maple syrup, warmed

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325°; butter a baking sheet.
  • In a shallow pie plate or shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt together.
  • Dunk the bread slices into the egg mixture and soak them for a few minutes on each side, turning as needed to coat evenly but not fully saturated.
  • Place the cornflakes on a plate; press each slice of bread lightly into the cornflakes, coating both sides.
  • Warm 2 tablespoons butter on a griddle or in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Briefly cook the French toast in batches until golden brown and lightly crisp, turning once.
  • If you wish, sprinkle each slice with sugar; place the first slices on the baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
  • Continue cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
  • When all French toast is ready, serve with maple syrup.
