Indulge in a decadent breakfast with our Pecan Praline French Toast topped with rich caramel sauce. This luxurious dish combines the crunch of toasted pecans, the sweetness of praline, and the indulgence of caramel, making it a perfect treat for special mornings or brunch gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 large slices of brioche or challah bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- Additional pecans for garnish
Preparation
Start by preparing the praline topping. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Mix in the chopped pecans and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and coated. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil. Cook the soaked bread slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
To serve, place the French toast on plates. Spoon the warm praline mixture over the top, drizzle generously with caramel sauce, and garnish with additional pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence. For a lighter option, serve with fresh berries or sliced bananas.
