Erin: Brunch is totally my new favorite meal. I love the fact that drinking alcohol (via mimosas) is completely acceptable before noon. Going out for brunch can be a little pricey so I decided to cook brunch at home this weekend. I found this recipe for Bourbon French Toast in my cookbook, "100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know" and it was fabulous! I will be making this again and again!
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon bourbon (I used Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey from the local liquor store)
1 grated zest of 1 orange (I used 1 teaspoon orange juice)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon butter
Challah Bread (You can use regular bread but Challah is the BEST and totally makes the dish)
Bourbon Syrup:
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 tablespoon butter
What to do:
1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, bourbon, orange juice, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well
2. In a skillet or griddle, melt the butter over moderate heat
3. Dip the bread one slice at a time into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides and transfer the slices to the skillet
4. Cook over moderate heat until golden, about 2-3 minutes on each side
5. Meanwhile, make the bourbon syrup by combing syrup, butter and bourbon in a small saucepan and heat over low heat for roughly 3 minutes
