FRENCH TOAST +

it's a simple dish, right? bread + egg + greasy frying pan. well... it's supposed to be.

my father told us a tale of french toast encrusted with crunched-up frosted flakes... devine and ultra-sweet, he claimed. yesterday evening, we took that idea and ran with it. our creation: french toast +. or, nerd-fattening bread. or demon bricks. any of these labels would be entirely too suitable.

put simply, it's pound cake dunked into eggs; that's standard f.t. procedure. the mucousy sponge is then dropped onto a plate of special k crumbs which gives the final product an extra crispy crunch. you can take that and start pan frying it. (don't skimp on oil and butter.) once the cereal has properly adhered to the cake, remove it from the flame and dunk it in the egg mix one more time... this will give you much better egg coverage and a fluffier texture. then it's back into the pan again until properly browned. and voila!

we completed the meal with breakfast potatos (yea for ranchero cheese!) and scrambled eggs... have you ever heard of a more proper 11 pm meal? and the results were... overwhelming. i can't recommend this recipe to everyone. it may kill you. but if you're itching for something sweet... like stupidly, groin-grabbingly sweet... then be my guest. but you've been warned.



it's a wonder we stay in the shape that we do... Posted by ryan at April 14, 2004 08:45 AM
