Corn Flake Crusted French Toast Quarters With Orange Glaze
- FOR THE BREAD:
- 3 whole Pieces Of Challah Bread, Cut 1 1/2 Inches Thick (Or Your Favorite Bread)
- 3 whole Eggs
- 3 Tablespoons Buttermilk Or Regular Milk
- 3 cups Cornflakes
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 8 teaspoons Buttermilk Or Regular Milk
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Orange Flavoring
- FOR THE GARNISH:
- 2 Tablespoons Orange Or Tangelo Zest
- For the bread:
- Cut 3 pieces of bread into thick slices (1 1/2 inches thick). Then cut each slice into quarters and set aside.
- Put the eggs in a medium size bowl. Add the buttermilk (or milk). Whisk the eggs and buttermilk together and set aside.
- Put the corn flakes in a medium size bowl. Keep the corn flakes whole. Set aside.
- Dip a piece of the bread into the egg mixture. Don't soak the bread; just a quick dip to get the entire piece wet with the egg mixture.
- Then, put the bread into the corn flakes and give the bread a bit of a push or smash into the corn flakes to get them to stick to the bread. Do this on both sides of the bread. Set aside on a plate.
- For the remaining pieces of bread, repeat the process of dipping into the egg mixture, and then the corn flakes.
- Add the butter to a pan and heat on medium heat.
- When the butter is melted, add the pieces of French toast to the pan. Make sure not to crowd the pieces in the pan.
- Watch them closely and turn down the heat just a touch if they're browning too fast. The idea is to let them cook slowly and turn to a golden color so that the egg mixture around the bread gets fully cooked.
- Using tongs, gently turn over the French toast to cook each of the sides.
- Continue turning the pieces so each side is a golden color. Some of the corn flakes may get a little darker golden which is fine too.
- It may take about 6 minutes until all sides get cooked and are a golden color.
- After they are done, put them on a plate so that you can add the glaze.
- For the glaze:
- In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar, buttermilk (or milk), and orange flavoring.
- Whisk all of the ingredients together. If the glaze is a bit too thick, just add a touch more buttermilk. If it's too thin, then add a bit more powdered sugar.
- Then, using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the pieces of French toast.
- Zest an orange or a tangelo. Garnish the French toast with the zest.
