Number Of Ingredients 21

FOR THE FRENCH TOAST
6 slice 1" thick - challah or brioche
3 eggs
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c whole milk
1/2 c heavy cream
1/4 c fresh squeezed orange juice
1 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp Grand Marnier
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 Tbsp butter
FOR THE PECAN SAUCE
1 1/2 c sugar
1/3 c water
1 c heavy cream
3/4 c pecans, toasted and chopped
2 Tbsp butter
1 pinch salt
2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp bourbon

Steps:

  • 1. Add the sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium high heat.
  • 2. Do not stir the sugar, but swirl occasionally until it turns amber in color - about 10 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream.
  • 4. Once incorporated, return to heat and stir in the pecans until smooth.
  • 5. Whisk in remaining ingredients.
  • 6. Remove from heat allowing it to cool.
  • 7. Whisk the eggs and sugar together.
  • 8. Add remaining ingredients except butter and whisk vigorously until well blended.
  • 9. Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Dip bread slices two at a time into the egg mixture, allowing both sides to soak without becoming completely saturated. Using 1/2 tablespoon of butter for each slice, saute until browned well on both sides. Wipe out skillet and repeat with remainder of bread.
  • 10. Place browned slices directly on the oven grate, preheated to 300 degrees F to finish cooking as you prep the pecan sauce.
  • 11. Plate the french toast and spoon the pecan sauce (in place of syrup) over it.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the pecan sauce.

Easy to follow recipe and turned out great! I used almond milk instead of regular milk and it was still delicious.
