Captain Crunch French Toast!

Captain Crunch French Toast by Melanie Knight- inspired by Guy Fieri’s Diners. Drive-Ins and Dives on Food Network.  This episode featured the Blue Moon Café in Baltimore, MD and their decadent take on French Toast!.  I took notes on the episode and estimated the quantities- while this one is delicious- I’d love a chance to try the real deal at the Blue Moon Café!!!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cap’n Crunch Cereal (no Crunch Berries)
  • 4 Slices thick sliced white bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbl unsalted butter
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • 1 pint strawberries-sliced (or other berries)

Place the cereal in a gallon zip lock back and roll with a rolling pin until it is crushed into crumbs.

In a shallow container- whisk eggs, cream, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.

I use an electric skillet so I can make four at a at a time.  Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. 

Dip each slice of toast into the egg mix, then coat each side with the cereal crumbs.  Cook 2-3 minutes on each side.  Right before serving- top with berries & whip cream.

Captain Crunch French Toast

Captain Crunch French Toast www.luckywife.lifeIt’s the only day you get to sleep in, so skip that early breakfast and enjoy a champagne brunch.

Crunch-atize Me Cap’n!
It’s the new rebel yell of anyone who caught the Comfort Food episode of Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on Food Network. This episode featured a decadent double stack of French toast that had been dipped in Cap’n Crunch before it was grilled in butter, then topped with an avalanche of whipped cream and berries. Anyone who can capture the crunchy sweetness of a cartoon Saturday morning and serve it up on a plate is pure genius. They gave out ingredients on the show, but not quantities. Here’s my version of the Baltimore’s Blue Moon Café Cap’n Crunch French Toast.

Cap’n Crunch French Toast Melanie Knight- inspired by Blue Moon Café
4 cups Cap’n Crunch original cereal (no Crunch Berries)
10 slices Texas bread (thick sliced bread)
4 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
10 tablespoons butter
Whipped cream for topping
1 pint strawberries
½ pound seedless grapes

Place the cereal in a casserole dish and crunch it into crumbs with the bottom of a glass.
Mix the eggs, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together and place in a shallow dish. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Take 1 slice of brad, dip both sides in the egg mixture, then coast with the Cap’n Crunch crumbs. Cook each side 2-3 minutes until light brown. Repeat for the other 9 slices of bread.

Stack 2 French toasts on the center of the plate. Top with a generous helping of whipped cream and strawberries and grapes.
Makes 5 servings.
