This vibrant Fruity Pebbles French Toast offers a delightful breakfast experience. Thick slices of bread are dipped in a rich egg custard, then coated with crunchy, colorful Fruity Pebbles cereal before being pan-fried to a golden perfection. Each bite delivers a satisfying contrast of soft, custardy interior and a sweet, crisp exterior with bright, fruity notes. Finished with a dollop of creamy whipped topping and fresh strawberries, it’s a playful yet sophisticated treat.

Instructions

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Place the crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal in a separate shallow dish.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and allow it to melt and coat the pan.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated.
Carefully transfer the egg-dipped bread to the dish with crushed Fruity Pebbles, pressing gently to adhere the cereal to both sides.
Place the coated bread slice onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cereal is lightly toasted. Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter or oil as needed.
Serve the Fruity Pebbles French Toast immediately, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For best results, use day-old bread as it absorbs the custard better without becoming soggy.

Crush the Fruity Pebbles cereal by placing them in a zip-top bag and gently rolling with a rolling pin, or pulse briefly in a food processor.

Do not overcrowd the pan; cook French toast in batches to ensure even browning.

Keep cooked French toast warm in a low oven (200°F / 95°C) while preparing the remaining slices.
