The Menchhofer family is busy with maple syrup season 2019, so all things breakfast are on the menu this month! These crispy French Toast Dippers also freeze well after you bake them.
French Toast Dippers
Ingredients:
4-5 slices white bread
3 c. crispy rice cereal
1 T. sugar
¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
3 eggs
½ c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
2 T. butter, melted
Pure maple syrup
Directions:
Cut each bread slice crosswise into 4 sticks using a pizza cutter. Place bread on a cooling rack for about 20 minutes to dry out slightly.
Preheat oven to 425. Place cereal in a resealable plastic bag and crush to fine crumbs with a rolling pin. Pour crumbs into a pie plate and add sugar and cinnamon.
Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl.
Dip 1 bread stick at a time into egg mixture and then roll in crumb mixture. Place in a 9x13 pan (I recommend a stoneware dish).
Slowly pour butter over bread sticks. Bake 17-19 minutes or until hot and crispy. Serve with syrup.
