**Strain:** Once the milk has taken on a bright, colorful hue and the cereal flavor is well infused, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another bowl. If you like it a bit sweeter, you can stir in a tablespoon of sugar. Set this cereal milk aside for later use.
Step 2: Prepare the French Toast Batter- 3
**Mix Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of the cereal milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.Step 3: Soak the Bread- 4
**Soak Slices:** Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter. Dip each slice of bread into the cereal milk mixture, ensuring that both sides are well-coated but not overly soggy.

**Coat Slices in Cereal** Add fruity pebbles to a plate. After you have dipped the bread into the milk mixture, lightly coat in fruity pebbles before adding to the pan.
Step 4: Cook the French Toast- 6
**Cook the Bread:** Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated griddle or skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook in batches.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve- 7
**Plate the French Toast:** Stack the golden brown French toast slices on plates.
**Add Toppings:** Top with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh fruit, a sprinkle of additional Fruity Pebbles for extra crunch, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
