Ingredients

8 slices thickly sliced bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
3 large eggs

1 cup milk
1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
Pinch of salt
Whipped cream and syrup for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat to 325-350˚F.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar (if using), vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish. In another shallow dish, pour the Fruity Pebbles cereal.
Step 3: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, soaking both sides for about 5-6 seconds. Then press each side gently into the Fruity Pebbles to coat evenly.

Step 4: Lightly butter or spray the griddle or skillet with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5: Place the coated bread slices onto the griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Step 6: Serve warm topped with whipped cream and syrup as desired.

Tips & Variations

Use brioche or challah bread for a richer, softer french toast.
Try different cereals like Cocoa Pebbles for a chocolatey variation.
If the Fruity Pebbles fall off during cooking, press them gently again after flipping.

For extra flavor, add a dash of nutmeg or orange zest to the egg mixture.

Storage

Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster or skillet to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the coating crunchy.

FAQs

Can I use other types of bread for this recipe?

Yes, thick slices of bread like brioche, challah, or Texas toast work best because they soak up the egg mixture well without falling apart.

Will the Fruity Pebbles get soggy after cooking?

They may soften slightly, but cooking on a hot griddle and serving immediately helps keep them crisp. Reheating in a toaster skillet will also help restore crunch.
