Funfetti French Toast
It seems like only yesterday I went traveling to Indonesia but how can it be mid-August already? I still have lots of traveling plan and Summer fun activities to do. I don’t think I’m ready to start Fall this early.
I used to have that thoughts back in school and thought I would stop reasoning when I started working. Turned out, that idea never dies. As some of you know, we just came back from another cruising trip and before long – 24 hours to be exact – I managed to convince my husband to go on another trip. He was so excited about the plan that he immediately book a flight to Europe the following week. I was like, errr… really? I guess we both enjoy Summer so much and never plan to go back to work.
Anyhow, my mom and the kids had a small talk as my nephew is going back to school next week. We brought back all the good silly memories about school. Back in the days, we didn’t use binders but real books for each subject. We started buying new books immediately after the results were out and we found out that we passed to the next level. My mom, then, would cover the books with plastic covers, made sure all the books were set and ready before school begins. She also made sure we had enough stationery set in our bag and got our uniforms cleaned and ironed. Those were basically her ‘summer activities’. Phewww… glad those days are over now.
This week Sunday Supper is about back to school and it reminds me of those colorful days hanging out with friends after school and not worry a bit about bills. And it’s a good excuse to have this funfetti french toast because we all deserve a fun cheerful breakfast, right?
Funfetti French Toast:
Ingredients
- 8 thick slices of 2-day-old bread better if slightly stale or Texas toast
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups froot loops cereal
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Put the crushed cornflakes in another shallow dish.
- Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place each slice of bread into the milk egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak in some of it (remove before the bread is soggy). Let the excess egg mixture drip off, then dredge the bread in froot loops, pressing gently and set aside on a plate.
- Shake off the excess, and place the bread slices onto the hot skillet.
- Fry the French toast, then flip and brown the other side. Be careful not to burn the french toast.
- Serve hot with maple syrup.

DB, Foodie Stuntman | Crazy Foodie Stunts says
Certainly is a colorful breakfast! It looks like you have had a busy summer, eh? Your story of your mother helping you with your Back to School activities reminds me of making covers for my hardcover text books from brown paper bags from the supermarkets. I wasn’t allowed to mark the books themselves so it was a novelty to draw anything I please on the cover.
