Bourbon French Toast

    • 8 large eggs
    • 1 1/4 cup half and half
    • 1/2 cup bourbon (I used Buffalo Trace)
    • 3 tablespoons sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used bourbon barrel aged vanilla)
    • 1 loaf 3/4-inch-thick French bread slices (I used Trader Joe's Sliced French Brioche)
  1. Whisk together eggs, half and half, bourbon, sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla in a large bowl. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture and stack in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish and a an 8-inch square baking dish. Pour remaining egg mixture evenly over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

  2. Place a large baking dish in a 250F oven. Melt approx. 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add four bread slices to skillet and saute until cooked through and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Place in the baking dish in the oven to keep warm. Repeat cooking until the loaf is done. 

  3. Serve with powdered sugar, warm maple syrup, Maple Bourbon Cream Cheese, and Maple Bacon Bourbon Butter.
