Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Custard Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, bourbon, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side. Ensure the bread is well-coated but not overly soggy.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place 2-3 soaked bread slices in the skillet, leaving space between them. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining bread, adding more butter as needed.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the bourbon barrel French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup. Optional: garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream.
