Ingredients:
6 slices (each one-inch thick) cinnamon raisin
bread
3 cups (loose) or 2 cups crushed cornflakes
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup half and half
1 tablespoon + 3 tablespoons sugar
1 quart strawberries
Procedures:
First, roll the cornflakes with a rolling pin
until they are of a medium fine consistency. Set aside. In a bowl, whip
the eggs with the vanilla, cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add the half
and half and stir until well-blended. Set aside.
Cut off the tops of the berries and slice them
in half into a bowl. Sprinkle with the other three tablespoons of sugar,
toss well and set aside.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and melt
1 tablespoon butter. Dip the bread, 1 slice at a time, first into the egg
mixture coating both sides. Drain and dip into the cornflakes, again coating
both sides.
Cook 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until
dark golden brown. Cut the cooked toast in half diagonally. Arrange three
halves on each of four plates, top with the marinated strawberries and
juice. Serve at once.
Serves 4.
