Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 loaves par-baked sourdough baguettes
4 eggs, beaten
Melted butter, for brushing griddle, optional
Orange Bourbon Butter, recipe follows
Spiced Pecans, recipe follows
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted sweet butter, softened
1 tablespoon bourbon (recommended: Jack Daniels)
2 tablespoons orange zest
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon ground star anise
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1 egg white, beaten until foamy

Steps:

  • Preheat a large nonstick griddle or large skillet over high heat.
  • Slice the bread on a diagonal into 1-inch slices. Thoroughly coat the bread with the beaten eggs, but do not soak the bread in the egg mixture-it will fall apart. Lightly brush the griddle with melted butter, if desired. Place the coated bread slices on the griddle. Cook over high heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan to warm plates. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon Orange Bourbon Butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Spiced Pecans. Serve immediately.
  • Cream butter in a mixer. Add the bourbon and orange zest and mix well. Leave at room temperature and serve with the French toast. Refrigerate any leftovers.
  • Yield: 8 servings
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix the sugar and spices and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix the pecan pieces with the egg white until well coated. Add the sugar and spice blend to the pecans and toss together until well coated. Turn the nut mixture out onto a nonstick cookie sheet and bake until nuts are golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool and then chop into small pieces.
  • Yield: 8 servings

This recipe was a disaster. The French toast was burnt and the orange bourbon butter was too salty.

The French toast was a bit dry. I think I'll add a little more milk to the batter next time.

This recipe is a little too sweet for my taste. I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of sweet breakfasts, so I reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe. It was still plenty sweet for my taste.

I'm not a fan of pecans, so I omitted them from the recipe. The French toast was still delicious.

I didn't have any orange bourbon on hand, so I used regular butter and a splash of orange juice. It still turned out great.

I'm not typically a fan of French toast, but this recipe changed my mind. The sourdough bread added a tangy flavor that complemented the sweetness of the orange bourbon butter.
