A delicious breakfast recipe combining the flavors of bourbon, maple, and crispy bacon in a decadent French toast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices brioche or challah bread, cut thick
  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 120 ml whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 60 g cream cheese, softened
  • 240 ml pure maple syrup
  • 30 ml bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch fine salt

Instructions

  1. Arrange bacon strips on a wire rack set over a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 15 minutes until crispy, then transfer to paper towels and chop finely.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until homogenous.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese with chopped bacon until fully incorporated.
  4. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each bread slice. Fill each pocket generously with the bacon-cream cheese mixture and press gently to close.
  5. Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, turning to ensure every side is saturated.
  6. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each stuffed slice for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, bourbon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Warm gently over low heat for 2 minutes and stir until fragrant.
  8. Plate the French toast and generously drizzle with the warm bourbon maple glaze. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an extra touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of bourbon to taste.
