A Breakfast Idea: Granola-Crusted French Toast

I love french toast. The flavors remind me of my childhood, sitting at the kitchen counter, waiting with maple syrup and a tall glass of milk. Well, this is a new take on the old-style form of french toast. The Granola Crusted French Toast gives a nice crunch to the old form, and adds a bit of sweetness. Here's my recipe.

Granola-Crusted French Toast
2 Eggs
Vanilla (splash)
Cinnamon & Sugar Mixture (Dash)
Milk
4 pieces of bread
Granola cereal (I use honey-flavored)

Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl. Mix in a splash of milk, a splash of vanilla, and a dash of Cinnamon & Sugar. Whisk the egg mixture until completely mixed. In the meantime, coat a hot pan with butter/margarine (be sure you completely coat the pan). Spread some granola in a separate dish for dipping.

Quickly dip the bread pieces into the egg mixture and then into the granola. Place the bread pieces into the hot pan. Pay close attention to the bread, as the granola will burn if you do not turn the bread often. Maintain medium-low heat to cook the french toast. Serve with maple syrup and a tall glass of milk.
