  3. Immediately press the bread into the corn flakes so that they stick to the bread
  4. Let the butter melt on a griddle or non stick pan at medium heat, and place the crusted French toast making sure to get a good amount of butter under so that the cornflakes get crunchy.
  5. Once golden brown flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
