Menu #8 - When you come home at the end of a long, busy day and just want to put on your jammies and curl up on the couch, why not fix breakfast for dinner. This yummy French Toast is perfect comfort food and it's so easy to make, you'll wonder why you don't eat breakfast last more often.
I got the idea to make French Toast this way when I read about dipping the eggy bread in Cap'n Crunch cereal before frying it. I love Cap'n Crunch so much, that I don't even risk buying a whole box and having it around the house. Instead, I thought, how about a crunchy panko crust? I've never once been tempted to sit down and eat a whole box of panko! So I tried it with some Challah bread and I loved the result -- maybe more than Cap'n Crunch. Try it and see what you think. Feel free to leave a comment here if you like it, or especially if you have a French Toast recipe you like even better. I want to taste it if you do!
