French Toast Yields: 4 Servings

4 slices milk bread, 1-inch thick
½ cup milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup corn flake crumbs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 oz. sweet butter
2 tablespoons vanilla confectioner’s sugar
Cinnamon, to taste
1 cup fresh whipped cream
12 strawberries
Fresh mint leaves

Remove crust from bread slices and cut in half diagonally. Soak break in the milk for 2-3 minutes. Dust slices with flour. Shake off excess flour.

Lightly beat egg with sugar. Dip bread slices in egg and then into corn flake crumbs.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and fry bread slices until golden brown and crunchy. Turn only once.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and confectioner’s sugar. Garnish with whipped cream, strawberries and mint leaves, and serve on a plate.

Other breads such as brioche, baguettes and Texas bread can be substituted for the milk bread.
