Indulge in this sophisticated Bourbon Maple Bacon French Toast, featuring crispy bacon and a rich bourbon-infused egg mixture, perfect for brunch gatherings or cozy breakfasts at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 strips of crispy bacon
  • Butter for cooking
  • Powdered sugar for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, bourbon, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until blended.
  3. Heat your skillet again over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to coat the bottom.
  4. Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, letting it soak briefly to absorb the flavors.
  5. Place the soaked bread in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  6. Serve hot, topped with the crispy bacon and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

For the crispiest bacon, choose thick-cut and cook it slowly to render out the fat. Letting your bread sit in the egg mixture for a moment helps achieve that custardy center.
