PECAN RUM FRENCH TOAST (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)



Pecan Rum French Toast (Cook's Illustrated) image

From this month's Cook's Illustrated Magazine (January 2009). Drying the bread first in the oven produces a French Toast that is crisp on the outside and soft (but not soggy) on the inside. If you purchase an unsliced loaf, cut the bread into 1/2-inch-thick slices. The French toast can be cooked all at once on an electric griddle, but may take an extra 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set the griddle temperature to 350 degrees and use the entire amount of butter for cooking.

Time 41m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup pecans
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 large slice cinnamon-raisin bread
1 1/2 cups whole milk, warmed (warm the milk in a microwave or small saucepan until warm to the touch, about 80 degrees)
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons for cooking
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons dark rum
maple syrup

Steps:

  • Process 1/2 cup pecans, 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in food processor until coarsely ground, 12 to 15 one-second pulses (you should have about 1/2 cup crumbs).
  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees. Place bread on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet. Bake bread until almost dry throughout (center should remain slightly moist), about 16 minutes, flipping slices halfway through cooking. Remove bread from rack and let cool 5 minutes. Return baking sheet with wire rack to oven and reduce temperature to 200 degrees.
  • Whisk milk, yolks, sugar, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons melted butter, salt, vanilla, and rum in large bowl until well blended. Transfer mixture to 13- by 9-inch baking pan.
  • Soak bread in milk mixture until saturated but not falling apart, 20 seconds per side. Using firm slotted spatula, pick up bread slice and allow excess milk mixture to drip off; repeat with remaining slices. Place soaked bread on another baking sheet or platter. Sprinkle each slice of soaked bread with 1 tablespoon nut mixture.
  • Heat ½ tablespoon butter in 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. When foaming subsides, use slotted spatula to transfer 2 slices soaked bread to skillet-nut mixture side down-and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until second side is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes longer. (If toast is cooking too quickly, reduce temperature slightly.) Transfer to baking sheet in oven. Wipe out skillet with paper towels. Repeat cooking with remaining bread, 2 pieces at a time, adding ½ tablespoon of butter for each batch. Serve warm, passing maple syrup separately.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for French toast. This will help the bread absorb the egg mixture more evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat. This will help the French toast cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or griddle. Cook the French toast in batches if necessary.
  • Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often will make it tough.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Pecan Rum French Toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning.
