Directions:
-
In a blender, combine the apricot nectar, apricot preserves, and egg. Blend until smooth to create the batter.
-
Pour the batter into a baking dish large enough to hold the bread slices.
-
Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. For optimal flavor, you can prepare this step the night before and refrigerate overnight.
-
Just before cooking, coat each side of the bread with the crumbled corn flakes, pressing gently to adhere.
-
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and fry until the cornflakes begin to turn golden brown, approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
-
Once cooked to perfection, serve the Crunchy Apricot Toast warm, accompanied by a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
Recipe Notes:
- To enhance the crunchiness, consider using thick slices of bread and pressing the cornflake coating firmly onto each slice.
- For a variation, you can substitute apricot preserves with your favorite fruit preserves or jam.
- This recipe is highly customizable โ feel free to add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract to the batter for added flavor depth.
- Serve alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of chilled milk for a complete and satisfying breakfast experience.
