Pecan Crusted French Toast With Bacon Caramel Sauce Recipe

Whisk the Batter

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

Prepare the Pecan Crust

Spread the chopped pecans on a flat plate.

Coat the Bread

Dip each slice of Texas toast into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds. Then, press the soaked side of the bread into the chopped pecans to coat it evenly.

Cook the French Toast

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the coated Texas toast slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining butter for the second slice.

Cook the Bacon

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.

Make the Caramel

In the same skillet, add the brown sugar and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble, about 3-5 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Add the crumbled bacon and butter to the caramel sauce. Stir well until combined and add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
