It’s the morning after.
Your charm has gotten you this far. And you’re inclined to impress her with your culinary wizardy, among other things. You look around your kitchen and see the usual suspects; eggs, milk, cereal, some day old bread and bananas. Doesn’t seem like a magical combination, but with a little imagination, you could really be on to something. This recipe really never fails me, always gets them asking for more! You have a lot of wiggle room with the recipe as well, you don’t really need any specific type of cereal, milk, fruit. Whatever you have lying around, you can probably incorporate in some way. Frosted Flakes, Cheerios, Corn Flakes, or even Fruit Loops, it all works here. Your milk can be any kind of milk you have, good old fashioned cows milk, soy, almond or rice milk. You do need eggs for this recipe because we are essentially making a custard for the bread to soak in. That’s what keeps your bread moist and creamy. I like to add a little liquor to my custard base just because it adds another element of flavor, plus its fun. You could use any type of liquor here, I usually go with a brown liquor like a whiskey, bourbon, or dark rum, because it does give a nutty flavor more so than a clear liquor. I would not use a vodka, but I would use a coconut rum if I had nothing else, and I would add some shredded coconut to the final product. You also need a sweet element to this custard, so I add a couple spoonfuls of sugar to the custard.
