Ingredients

• 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche or challah bread
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Pecans
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to create the custard base.

Step 2

Preheat a non-stick griddle or large frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of butter.

Step 3

Dip each slice of brioche or challah bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly saturated.

Step 4

Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm on a plate.

Step 5

In a small skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the pecans and toss to coat.

Step 6

Drizzle the pecans with maple syrup and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pecans are glossy and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

To assemble, plate the French toast slices and top generously with the maple-glazed pecans.

Step 8

Optionally, dust the French toast with powdered sugar and drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
