Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 loaves par-baked sourdough baguettes
4 eggs, beaten
Melted butter, for brushing griddle, optional
Orange Bourbon Butter, recipe follows
Spiced Pecans, recipe follows
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted sweet butter, softened
1 tablespoon bourbon (recommended: Jack Daniels)
2 tablespoons orange zest
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

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 Spiced Pecans. Serve immediately.
  • 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.
  • Yield: 8 servings
  • 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.
  • Yield: 8 servings

I love that this recipe uses sourdough bread. It gives the French toast a slightly tangy flavor that I really enjoy.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used chopped walnuts instead of pecans. It was a great substitute!

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm not a big fan of bourbon, so I substituted maple syrup in the orange-bourbon butter. It was still delicious!

I didn't have any orange zest on hand, so I used a teaspoon of orange extract instead. It still turned out great!

The sourdough bread gave this French toast a slightly chewy texture that I really enjoyed. It held up well to the orange-bourbon butter and spiced pecans without getting soggy.
