Ingredients

• 3 pieces Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 6 slices Challah or brioche bread (thickly sliced)
• 1 cup Pecans (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for frying)
• 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Spread the chopped pecans evenly on a plate or shallow dish.

Step 3

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Let any excess batter drip off.

Step 4

Press each slice of soaked bread into the chopped pecans, coating one or both sides as desired. Set the coated bread slices aside on a platter.

Step 5

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add enough slices of pecan-coated bread to fill the skillet without overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the pecans are golden and the French toast is cooked through. Place the cooked French toast on a plate and keep warm. Add more butter as needed and repeat with the remaining slices.

Step 7

Prepare the berry sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Remove the berry sauce from heat and let it cool for a minute before serving.

Step 9

To serve, place two slices of pecan-coated French toast on each plate. Drizzle with the warm berry sauce and, if desired, a touch of maple syrup.

Step 10

Enjoy your luxurious Pecan Coated French Toast with Berry Sauce!
