Instructions:
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, egg whites, orange juice, confectioners’ sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
-
Whisk Until Smooth:
- Using a whisk, beat the ingredients together until well mixed and smooth.
-
Prepare the Cornflake Coating:
- Spread 1/3 cup of cornflakes on the center of a piece of plastic wrap.
-
Coat the Bread Slices:
- Quickly dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly.
- Place the bread onto the cornflakes.
-
Press and Coat:
- Lightly press the top of the bread with a fork to embed the cornflakes into the underside, ensuring a solid coating.
- Set the bread slice aside, cornflake side down.
-
Repeat the Process:
- Working quickly, repeat the dipping process with the remaining slices of bread, using about 1/3 cup of cornflakes per slice.
-
Heat the Butter:
- Divide the unsalted butter between 2 large nonstick griddles or skillets.
- Melt the butter over medium heat until it is hot.
-
Cook the French Toast:
- Transfer the bread slices, cornflake side down, onto the griddles.
- Cook until both sides are golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side.
- If cooking in batches, keep the cooked slices warm in a preheated 200-degree Fahrenheit oven.
-
Serve Hot:
- Once cooked, serve the French toast hot, with the cornflake side facing up.
- Lightly sift confectioners’ sugar over the toast for added sweetness.
- Garnish the plate with fresh strawberries and orange segments for a vibrant and flavorful presentation.
