Reluctant to get out of bed and dressed on the weekends? Want to have a cafe style brunch but don't want to venture out? This brioche honey nut cornflake crusted French toast is ridiculously good and easy. Add fruit for goodness and you have a pretty as a picture brunch at home! This is a totally pushy recipe!
This French toast has two wonderful qualities to it: the super crunchy caramelised outside thanks to the use of crunchy honey nut cornflakes. The other part is the soft, syrupy soaked eggy layer. These are two of my favourite textures in food and I love it when they collide in my mouth. Especially in a very easy recipe. I based my recipe on the one on the lovely Sarah Cooks which is just about damn perfect. I added fruit to make it healthier as well as yogurt because you perhaps need to balance the deliciousness of the butter and maple syrup with something else.
On my recent trip to Peru my love of sauces got me dubbed "Madame Sauce". In Peru they have a street food called Salchipapa which is essentially fries with sausage on top. My favourite part of it were the eight sauces that came with it. Yes eight. And no, you don't have to pay extra for sauces like you do here. There was tomato sauce, mayo, aioli, crema de aceituna (olive sauce), aji chilli, passionfruit chilli and a few others.
You normally put on a few of them but we put all of the sauces on top of our plate and you know what? It was delicious. Madame Sauce loved it very much (I might have to start referring to myself in the third person like an eccentric). And Madame Sauce is being pushy about this cornflake French toast and recommends that you give this a go at least once in your life! Add lots of maple syrup and sauce!
So tell me Dear Reader, what are your favourite sauces? Would you try all 8 sauces if given the opportunity? What food would they nickname you after?
