French Toast with Cranberries and Pecans
Servings : 4
Prep Time : 10 minutes
Cook Time : 15 minutes
Components :
- For the French Toast :
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or substitute with almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 8 slices of thick bread like brioche or challah
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup fresh or dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup maple syrup plus more for serving
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp orange zest optional
Instructions:
1. Prepare the French Toast Batter :
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
2. Cook the French Toast:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or nonstick spray. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Cook the bread slices in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary.
3. Prepare the Cranberry-Pecan Topping:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cranberries, pecans, maple syrup, and orange zest (if using). Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries are softened and the mixture is warm and fragrant.
4. Assemble and Serve:
Place the cooked French toast slices on a plate. Spoon the cranberry-pecan topping over the toast, and drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired. Serve warm.
Tips .
- For extra crunch, toast the pecans before adding them to the topping.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a decadent finish.
