CAPTAIN'S CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST
Inspired by a recipe I saw on television, I experimented with different combinations and came up with this. This is a delicious and unusual variation on plain old French Toast. Try it, I guarantee you'll love it! Thanks to the Blue Moon Cafe in Baltimore for the inspiration. Not for the diet conscious, but it tastes so good you won't care! Put bread in a warm oven to keep heated until the rest of the bread is done, if needed. Serve with a dollop of butter and warmed pure maple syrup, if desired.

Steps:
- Beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Pour in the cream, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg; whisk until smooth. Pour the crushed cereal into a shallow dish; set aside. Dip the egg bread into the egg mixture two pieces at a time until the egg has been soaked into the center of the slices, about 30 seconds per side. Press the soaked bread into the crushed cereal until coated on both sides. Set the finished slices aside on a piece of waxed paper.
- Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the French toast in the hot pan until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

CAP'N CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST
Based on a recipe from Guy Fieri's book, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: an All-American Road Trip...With Recipes! This celebrates the Blue Moon Café in Baltimore, Maryland. This is absolutely wonderful. My friend Eric, who loaned me this cookbook, slices the berries the night before and coats them with maple sugar and marinates them in the 'fridge overnight -- this makes them quite succulent by morning!

Steps:
- In large bowl, mix together cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Crush cereal by placing in plastic storage bag and rolling over it with a rolling pin. Once it resembles cracker meal, transfer to a shallow dish.
- Moisten a couple pieces of bread in cream mixture until soft but not completely soaked. Allow excess liquid to drip off bread, then press into the cereal crumbs to coat evenly. Set on a sheet pan and repeat with remaining slices.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Adding butter as needed, cook bread on both sides until it caramelizes, about 6 to 8 minutes total.
- TOPPING:.
- In large bowl using a hand mixer beat the cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Dollop on top of the French toast and serve with the berries.
CAP'N CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST
I saw this prepared on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and they only shared ingredients, not amounts. After searching many french toast recipes, this is what my kids and I arrived at. You'll never search for another French toast recipe after this.
