Ingredients- 1 slice of bread (thicker bread works best for a heartier toast)
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 cup cereal (about 30g, corn or sweet cereals recommended)
- 1 pinch of salt (approx. 0.5g)
- 1 pinch of sugar (approx. 0.5g)
- Cooking oil (for greasing the pan, have enough ready)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the slice of bread in half. For a sturdier toast that won’t fall apart easily, aim for a thickness of about 1.5 to 2 cm. You can also cut it into quarters if you prefer.
Step 2
Place the cereal into a clean plastic bag. Use your hands or a rolling pin to crush the cereal into desired pieces. It’s best to crush them coarsely to maintain a pleasant texture when bitten into, rather than making them too fine. Crushing them ensures they adhere well to the bread.
Step 3
In a wide bowl, crack the egg and add the 2 tablespoons of milk. Whisk them together thoroughly. Add a pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the egg mixture. You can estimate the salt and sugar by hand if you don’t have measuring spoons.
Step 4
Spread the crushed cereal evenly onto another wide plate or tray. Make sure you have enough cereal to generously coat the bread surface.
Step 5
Dip the halved bread slices into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides. Allow the bread to soak for a moment to absorb the mixture, but don’t leave it in for too long, as it can become soggy.
Step 6
Transfer the egg-coated bread slices to the plate with the crushed cereal. Gently press the bread onto the cereal, coating both sides thoroughly. Press down slightly to ensure the cereal sticks firmly to the bread surface – this is key for that perfect crunch!
Step 7
Now, heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add a generous amount of cooking oil, ensuring it coats the entire surface. Be careful not to overheat the oil, as the cereal can burn quickly.
Step 8
Carefully place the cereal-coated toast onto the heated pan. Cook over low heat, turning occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent the cereal from burning.
Step 9
Once both sides are beautifully golden and crisp, your Cereal Toast is ready! Enjoy it warm for the ultimate crunchy exterior and soft, moist interior. You can also serve it with jam or condensed milk for an extra touch of sweetness.
