For the French Toast

Method

Prepare the French Toast

  1. 1

    Make the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Dip the Bread

    Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

  3. 3

    Grill the Bread

    Place the soaked bread on the griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Prepare the Topping

  1. 4

    Prepare the Fruits

    Slice the bananas and strawberries. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Make the Bourbon Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the bourbon and brown sugar. Cook over low heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Top each French toast slice with sliced bananas, strawberries, candied walnuts, and drizzle with bourbon sauce. Finally, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form and dollop on top.
