Chocolate Chex French Toast
As I’m sure you know, Sunday is Mother’s Day; and while it’s traditional to go out to a restaurant for brunch to celebrate, its easier and more kid friendly to make a nice breakfast at home. Maybe even serve it to Mom in bed. What can you make that’s both kid-friendly and special for Mom? French Toast! But better than plain French toast is French toast covered in Chocolate Chex!
I love French toast. Whenever we go out for breakfast, I almost always order French toast because it’s made with a nice thick egg bread and soaked in heavy cream. It’s decadent and a delightful treat, the perfect choice for Mother’s Day. While always special, covering the French toast in Chocolate Chex makes it even better. Not only does the Chex add a nice crunch, the chocolate makes it sweet. You don’t even need syrup. (It’s totally okay if you want to use it, though.) But my favorite thing about French Toast is how easy it is to make. It’s so easy in fact, the kids can even help.
How can they help, you ask? Simple. Give them the Chex to crush. Have them beat the eggs. If those assignments are too difficult, they can simply dip the bread into the egg mixture. If you have more than one child, you can make an assembly line so everyone can get in on the action. There are so many options, it makes for quite a fun morning. Plus, since the kids will be helping, it’ll be way more special than going to a restaurant. Sounds like the perfect Mother’s Day to me.
Chocolate Chex French Toast
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 loaf of challah, sliced
- 2 cups Chocolate Chex, crushed
Directions:
- Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla in a large bowl. Place the crushed Chex in another bowl and set the two bowls up in an assembly line.
- Melt a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge each slice of bread in the egg mixture. Then dip in the crushed Chex, making sure to press down so the cereal sticks.
- Place the Chex-coated bread in the skillet and cook, 2 – 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer the French Toast to a plate. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the rest of the loaf of bread.
- Serve immediately with a little powdered sugar and syrup.
