Sourdough French Toast With Orange Bourbon Butter And Spiced Pecans Recipes

CARAMELIZED SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Cut the bread into 8 large wedges. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, cream, granulated sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a large baking dish. Add the bread and turn occasionally until soaked through, about 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Put the confectioners' sugar in a fine-mesh sieve. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half of the bread and dust generously with the confectioners' sugar; cook, turning and dusting often with more confectioners' sugar, until golden brown and caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes (add more butter to the skillet, if needed). Transfer the French toast to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Add 1 more tablespoon butter to the skillet and repeat with the remaining bread. Serve with maple syrup.

SPICED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Put a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and put in the oven. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Mix the sugar and apple pie spice in a small bowl and set aside. Whisk the milk and eggs together in a large shallow dish.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter a large skillet over medium heat. Briefly dip 2 slices of bread into the egg mixture and place in the skillet. Sprinkle some of the spiced sugar on top and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the warm baking sheet in the oven and continue to make French toast with the remaining butter, bread, egg mixture and spiced sugar. Serve with butter and warm maple syrup.
