Bourbon Maple Bacon French Toast
Description
A delicious breakfast recipe combining the flavors of bourbon, maple, and crispy bacon in a decadent French toast.
Ingredients
- 8 slices brioche or challah bread, cut thick
- 6 strips thick-cut bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 120 ml whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 60 g cream cheese, softened
- 240 ml pure maple syrup
- 30 ml bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch fine salt
Instructions
- Arrange bacon strips on a wire rack set over a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 15 minutes until crispy, then transfer to paper towels and chop finely.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until homogenous.
- In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese with chopped bacon until fully incorporated.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each bread slice. Fill each pocket generously with the bacon-cream cheese mixture and press gently to close.
- Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, turning to ensure every side is saturated.
- Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each stuffed slice for 34 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, bourbon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Warm gently over low heat for 2 minutes and stir until fragrant.
- Plate the French toast and generously drizzle with the warm bourbon maple glaze. Serve immediately.
