ORANGE PECAN FRENCH TOAST



Orange Pecan French Toast image

My husband and I were vacationing recently and had this lovely French toast at a bed and breakfast. When we came back home, I kept missing it so I called them up and requested it. They actually gave me the recipe over the phone! I generally halve the recipe for my husband and I, and bake it in an 8 inch square pan. Reheats well in the toaster oven. I served it to my in-laws recently and they loved it. Serve with a little sweetened whipped cream and berries!

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
⅓ cup chopped pecans
12 (3/4 inch thick) slices French bread
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup fresh orange juice
½ cup 2% milk
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
2 eggs
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, melted butter, and corn syrup. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, and spread evenly. Sprinkle pecans over the sugar mixture. Arrange the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so they are in a snug single layer.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, egg whites, and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread, pressing on the bread slices to help absorb the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C ). Remove the cover from the baking dish, and let stand for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Buttered pecans:
1 heaping cup pecan halves, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
French toast:
5 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons lightly packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 thick slices brioche
4 tablespoons clarified butter, for the pan
Bourbon maple syrup:
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons bourbon
Dash of pure vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • For the buttered pecans:
  • Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
  • Place the pecan pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 10 to 14 minutes, until fragrant and golden brown. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 200°F.
  • In a medium sauté pan set over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and salt. Add the pecans and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, until the butter is lightly browned. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • For the french toast:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  • In a small saucepan set over medium heat, warm the heavy cream for about 3 minutes, until just steaming and remove from the heat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the sugar mixture to the cream and stir just until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cream mixture to the egg and milk mixture. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Working with one slice of bread at a time, put a slice into the egg mixture and let it soak for about 15 seconds on each side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet to rest while all the bread is dipped and the pan is heated.
  • In a medium nonstick skillet or griddle pan set over medium heat, melt the clarified butter. Place 2 or 3 bread slices into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown on each side. Add a bit more butter to the pan after you flip the bread, if needed. Transfer to a heatproof plate or rimmed baking sheet with a wire cooling rack set inside. Cover with a kitchen towel and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the toast. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining bread.
  • For the bourbon maple syrup:
  • In a small saucepan set over low heat, gently stir together the maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla until just warmed and well combined.
  • To serve, place 2 slices of French toast on each plate. Generously sprinkle with buttered pecans, drizzle with syrup, and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, plus more for serving
1/2 cup whole milk
5 large eggs
1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
Pinch of kosher salt
1 cup bourbon
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Powdered sugar, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
  • In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and vanilla. Whisk together until everything's combined and smooth.
  • One by one, dunk the slices of bread into the egg mixture and place them on the buttery skillet.
  • Fit as many slices in the skillet as you can, cooking them until golden on the first side, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip to cook them on the other side for about 2 minutes. Remove them to a plate. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and repeat with the rest of the bread slices until they're all cooked.
  • To the same skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, the remaining 1 cup of brown sugar, and the salt. Stir and cook over medium heat until the butter and sugar are melted and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat completely, pour in the bourbon and stir, allowing the fumes to dissipate for about 1 minute. Turn the stove on medium heat and continue to stir and cook for another minute, or until the mixture is starting to thicken. Add the pecans, stir to combine. Keep cooking the sauce, stirring constantly, until the mixture is deep golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to cook it too long as it will become chewy, you want a nice caramelly sauce. Turn off the heat.
  • Serve two pieces of French toast with a little butter. Sift over some powdered sugar.
  • Spoon on a generous amount of the sauce then top with whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon.

SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST WITH ORANGE BOURBON BUTTER AND SPICED PECANS



SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST WITH ORANGE BOURBON BUTTER AND SPICED PECANS image

Categories     Egg

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 loaves par-baked sourdough baguettes
4 eggs, beaten
Melted butter, for brushing griddle, optional
Orange Bourbon Butter, recipe follows
Spiced Pecans, recipe follows
Spiced Pecans:
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon ground star anise
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1 egg white, beaten until foamy
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and spices and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix the pecan pieces with the egg white until well coated. Add the sugar and spice blend to the pecans and toss together until well coated. Turn the nut mixture out onto a nonstick cookie sheet and bake until nuts are golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool and then chop into small pieces.
Orange Bourbon Butter:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted sweet butter, softened
1 tablespoon bourbon (recommended: Jack Daniels)
2 tablespoons orange zest
Cream butter in a mixer. Add the bourbon and orange zest and mix well. Leave at room temperature and serve with the French toast. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Steps:

  • Preheat a large nonstick griddle or large skillet over high heat. Slice the bread on a diagonal into 1-inch slices. Thoroughly coat the bread with the beaten eggs, but do not soak the bread in the egg mixture-it will fall apart. Lightly brush the griddle with melted butter, if desired. Place the coated bread slices on the griddle. Cook over high heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan to warm plates. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon Orange Bourbon Butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons SpicedPecans. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh sourdough bread that is at least 1 day old. This will give the French toast a slightly tangy flavor and a chewy texture.
  • If you don't have orange liqueur, you can substitute another type of citrus liqueur, such as lemon or grapefruit.
  • Be careful not to overcook the French toast. It should be cooked until it is golden brown and the center is cooked through, but it should not be dry.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

This sourdough French toast recipe is a delicious and easy way to start your day. The orange-bourbon butter and spiced pecans add a touch of sweetness and sophistication that will make your taste buds sing.

Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, this French toast is sure to be a hit. So next time you have some leftover sourdough bread, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
