Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon honey, plus more for dipping
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 cups corn flakes, crushed
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped
- 8 slices King’s Hawaiian Sweet Sliced Bread, sliced into 1-inch sticks
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, honey, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In another shallow bowl, mix crushed corn flakes and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly combined.
- Slice the bread into 1-inch sticks. Dip each stick into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then roll in the corn flake-nut mixture to coat completely.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add coated sticks in batches and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer cooked sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or honey on the side for dipping. Sprinkle extra cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- Use gluten-free corn flakes for a gluten-free version.
- Substitute macadamia nuts with walnuts or pecans as desired.
- For a dairy-free version, replace milk with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free butter.
- Try using maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a different flavor profile.
