Adult French Toast

    This is another one of those dishes I throw together without a recipe. In order to share it here I had to come up with some measurements then adjust. I made this yesterday for breakfast … here is my first formula ….

Ingredients 

4 eggs
½ cup milk
1 oz di Amore’ Amaretto Liqueur***
½ oz Cointreau Liqueur***
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp Dried orange peel (Get it in the spice section)
powdered sugar

4-8 slices of bread

EDIT: We have since started adding about 1/2 oz of Vanilla Vodka*** as well! For a full-blown adult recipe!! LOL

***You can substitute vanilla or almond extract for the Vodka, Amaretto and ¼ orange peel for the Cointreau for a non-alcohol recipe.

Preparation

    Add all of the ingredients except for the sugar in a glass baking dish or other suitable containers for dipping the bread. Wisk the mixture until it is well blended.

Cooking

Heat a frying pan or flat griddle to a medium to medium/high heat. You can use a tsp of butter or a cooking spray/oil to keep it from sticking. I prefer butter!

    Once the pan has heated and the butter melted, dip a piece of bread into your mixture and coat it good then flip and repeat. Try not to leave it in too long per side or it will become soggy. I have used slices from a french loaf that were a bit denser than sandwich bread. This would require a longer soak. You will get the feel for it after a few tries.

    Place the coated bread into the hot pan for about 2-3 minutes then flip. It should be golden brown. If it is not, adjust your flip times.

    Once the pieces are browned on both sides place them on a plate and sprinkle with the powdered sugar to taste. Add butter and syrup and enjoy!

    I have added a fruit mixture instead of the syrup. Basically, I took a frozen berry mixture some honey and a bit of sugar, placed it in the microwave long enough to thaw and heat it.

    Best served with orange juice and either bacon or sausage. I like Jimmy Dean’s Sage or link sausage. You may want Canadian bacon or maybe some shredded hash browns.
