Pecan Pie French Toast combines the richness of pecan pie with the classic comfort of French toast.
Gathering quality ingredients is key. You'll need eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, thick slices of bread, pecans, brown sugar, and butter.
Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl. This mixture will soak into the bread, giving the French toast its classic custardy texture and delightful flavor.
Dip thick slices of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let the bread soak for a few minutes to absorb the mixture fully, making the toast rich and flavorful.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter. Cook the soaked bread slices until golden brown on both sides.
In a separate pan, melt butter and stir in brown sugar until it dissolves. Add chopped pecans and cook until they are caramelized and fragrant.
Place the cooked French toast on a plate and generously spoon the pecan topping over each slice.
