Directions
1.
Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet. Place crushed cereal in shallow bowl; set aside. In medium bowl, beat eggs, orange juice and salt with wire whisk until well blended.
2.
Spray griddle or 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat to 350 degrees F or over medium heat. Dip each slice of bread into egg mixture, turning to coat both sides; coat with cereal. Place on griddle; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides.

Oven French Toast:
Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Generously grease bottom and sides of 15x10x1-inch pan with shortening. Prepare and dip bread as directed--except place bread in pan. Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Turn bread; bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until golden brown.

Tip:
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): For griddle or skillet, no change. For oven, bake 7 to 10 minutes. Turn bread; bake 5 to 7 minutes longer.
