Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 6-ounce containers blackberries (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt
1 13-ounce loaf challah bread, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Stack two 12-inch-long pieces of heavy-duty foil. Toss the blackberries, 2 tablespoons sugar and the butter on the foil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold to seal, then fold in the sides and seal. Grill until the fruit is bubbling and the juices are syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the berries to a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, half-and-half, the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt in a bowl until well combined. Put the challah in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pour the egg mixture on top and let soak, turning to coat, 1 to 2 minutes. Thread onto 6 skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes first). Grill, turning, until well marked, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and dust with confectioners' sugar. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve with the blackberry sauce.

This handheld version of a breakfast favorite is served with grilled bacon and warm maple syrup for the ultimate sweet and salty treat-no knife and fork needed! Lining the grill with foil ensures that the French toast cooks all the way through without burning, while covering the grill lets the toast acquire a nice touch of smoky flavor.

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Half a 12-inch brioche loaf, end discarded, bread cut into 1-inch cubes (about 48)
8 slices thick-cut bacon
1 1/2 cups well-shaken buttermilk
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Kosher salt
Cooking spray
Pure maple syrup, warm
Special equipment: eight 12-inch skewers

Steps:

  • Thread 6 bread cubes onto each skewer, leaving at least 1/4 inch of space between cubes. Leave the skewers out overnight, uncovered, to dry out.
  • The next day, prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat. Grill the bacon, flipping as needed to ensure even cooking, until most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is charred in spots on both sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb any excess fat. (Note: If you have a charcoal grill, cook the bacon in a grill pan. It should not be grilled over charcoal because of the risk of flare-ups.)
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined; pour into a rimmed baking sheet. Put the skewers of bread in the buttermilk mixture to soak, turning as needed, until the bread has absorbed some of the liquid but is not falling apart, no more than 5 minutes.
  • Spray a large piece of aluminum foil all over with cooking spray and place it on half the grill. Transfer the skewers to the foil in 1 layer, at least 1/2 inch of space between them. Grill, covered, turning the skewers a few times as needed, until the cubes of bread are golden in most places and no longer wet, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove the skewers and foil from the grill, and return the bacon to the grill just until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Serve the grilled French toast kebabs and bacon with warm maple syrup.
