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.
