Capt'n Crunch French Toast

Sometime before Christmas, My husband Mike and I are watching a show on the Food Network called Diners, Drive ins and Dives, and Guy is visiting a place called the Blue Moon Cafe. They make something that my husband turns to me and says "you have to make that"! So here it is...

4 cups Capt'n Crunch (no Crunch Berries)

10 slices of toast (I used D'Italiano bread)

4 eggs

1/2 cup whipping cream

1/2 cup of sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cinnamon

10 tablespoons butter

whipped cream and mixed fruit for topping

Place the cereal in a shallow dish and crush into crumbs with the bottom of a glass, set aside.

In another shallow dish mix remaining ingredients.

Melt one tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over medium heat, dip piece of bread in the egg mixture then coat with the crumbs. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until light brown. Repeat for the other 9 slices.

Stack 2 pieces of toast on a plate and top with the

whipped cream and fruit.

Makes 5 servings.
