Preparation
Step 1
If using an electric griddle, preheat the griddle to 350 degrees F.
Step 2
In a shallow pan or pie plate, add the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
Step 3
Place the cornflakes in a large bowl and crush with your hands until the pieces are small, but not completely crushed into crumbs, and somewhat uniform in size.
Step 4
Dip each side of the bread in the egg mixture. Dip the slice into the cornflakes on both sides, pressing to adhere the flakes; set aside on a baking sheet or platter. Repeat with the remaining slices.
Step 5
Melt a little butter on the hot griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the French toast until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Step 6
Serve the French toast warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and berries, if desired.

Chef's notes
To keep the French toast warm, heat the oven to 200 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and place the French toast on the rack. Keep warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes.
