Cereal Crusted French Toast

I have to admit that I did see this technique done on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I love that show and one day when I was watching an episode I saw that this girl was making cereal crusted french toast using Captain Crunch. I didn't have Captain Crunch, but I did have some Oat Blenders Cereal and it has some sweetness to it, so I thought - why not!?

What you need:
About 2 cups of crushed cereal
4-5 eggs (yolks optional)
Bread (about 4 pieces)
*Please note that this recipe is based on using four pieces of bread and I had egg left over, so I probably could have done six pieces.

Whip your eggs and crush your cereal in different bowls (or plates).
Next take your bread, dip it in the egg mixture, then press each side of the bread in the cereal. You are going to get messy, so be prepared for it.

Next make sure you pan is on medium so you don't burn your cereal. Let cook just like cooking regular french toast, flip, repeat. Simple!

What you get is a great delicious mix of cereal and french toast. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or syrup and you are ready to eat.
I came up with this after deciding I needed something fun for my boys to eat for breakfast. Hope you enjoy! I might try a different cereal next time.
