Breakfast and BrunchBLUE MOON CAFE CAP'N CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST
3/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal
8 to 10 slices bread, such as Texas toast or French bread
Butter for (cooking)
Whipped Cream Topping (recipe follows)
2 cups assorted fresh seasonal berries
Mix the cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until combined; set aside.
Put the cereal in a storage bag and use a rolling pin to crush cereal until it resembles cracker meal. Transfer the cereal to a shallow dish.
Dip a couple slices of the bread into the cream mixture until soft but not completely soaked. Let excess liquid drip from the bread, then press into the cereal crumbs to coat evenly. Place on a sheet pan and repeat with the remaining slices.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, add butter as needed, and cook the bread until caramelized on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total.

1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
