Ingredients

  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 6 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 0.5 cup Pecans
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 1 cup Strawberries (sliced)
  • 0.5 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly, and place them onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed. Transfer cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm.

Step 4

In a separate small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add pecans and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Sprinkle brown sugar over the pecans and drizzle in the maple syrup. Stir until the sugar melts and the pecans are evenly coated. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (for whipped cream) until soft peaks form. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Step 7

To assemble, place a piece of French toast on a plate. Top with caramelized pecans, a generous handful of sliced strawberries, and a dollop of whipped cream.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent breakfast treat!
