I should have kept this one for April 1st. I stumbled upon this recipe last night and read it with my jaw on the floor. Fruity bread coated in cornflakes then fried. Serve with a banana, jam or syrup. I wouldn't feed this to my worst enemy

Corny French Toast
(Makes 3 slices)
Serve this cold sauce with grilled or roasted vegetables to conjure a seaside meal.
2 Tablespoons silken tofu
1/4 cup vanilla soy or rice milk
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup cornflakes
3 slices whole wheat or raisin bread
Vegetable oil spray
In a bowl, combine tofu, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon until smooth.
Crumble cornflakes. (You're not looking for cornflake flour; crumble until each flake is broken in two or three pieces.) Spread flakes on a dinner plate.
Dip bread in the tofu mixture until both sides are coated. Place both sides of each slice of bread into the cornflakes. Press down slightly so they stick. Spray frying pan with vegetable oil and fry bread until each side is golden brown.
Serve with sliced bananas, fruit preserves, or syrup.
Note: If you don't have vanilla-flavored soy or rice milk, use plain, and add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon sweetener. Also, instead of frying, you can bake this recipe. Preheat oven to 375 degrees while you prepare the bread. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil and place the prepared bread on it. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden.
