Ingredients
1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
4 slices sandwich, French or challah bread, crusts removed if desired
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup cereal flakes, such as Heritage Flakes or Corn Flakes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or vegetable oil
Honey or pure maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Directions
- Use a fork to whip the cream cheese and marmalade in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Spread the mixture evenly on 2 slices of bread and top with the remaining bread, creating 2 sandwiches. Slice the sandwiches into 1-inch-wide sticks. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl and stir in the milk. Set aside.
- Place the cereal in a resealable plastic bag and crush into tiny pieces with a rolling pin or mallet. Transfer to a wide, shallow bowl.
- Dip each sandwich stick in the beaten egg, coating each side, then into the crushed cereal, coating completely. Transfer to a plate.
- Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sticks in a single layer until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Serve with honey, maple syrup or on their own.
