Amaretto French Toast

Barbara is a little obsessed with Amaretto right now. YUM! She’s created several dishes featuring it (stay tuned for more on the blog soon).

This Amaretto French Toast would be a great option for breakfast in bed for your sweetheart’s birthday or Valentine’s Day. This recipe is easily double, tripled or quadrupled if you are having a friends and family over for breakfast or brunch.

Make a couple batches for the adults and another couple – without the Amaretto – for the children.

We say the toasted coconut is “optional” but trust us, you will want to top this French toast with it. It just adds another layer of flavor.

Another tip from Barbara is warm up the maple syrup before serving…you will never regret the extra effort!

Barbara uses her electric griddle for this French toast and pancakes. We use our electric skillet to make French toast and pancakes. We also use our electric skillet EVERY weekend to prep our eggs and breakfast meats (sausage patties and bacon) for the week.

These two appliances are the most used appliances in both of our kitchens. They mean less time standing over the stove.

Ingredient List

• Butter
• Large egg
• Milk
• Vanilla extract
• Amaretto Liqueur
• Texas Toast
• Toasted Coconut (optional)

How to Make French Toast with Amaretto

Step by Step Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk egg, milk, vanilla extract and Amaretto.
2. Heat large skillet or griddle, add butter to melt.
3. Dip bread slices in the egg mixture on each side.
4. Cook the french toast slices on each side until golden brown.
5. If desired, garnish with toasted coconut.

Recipe Variations

• Use any type of bread slices including brioche, challah or regular sliced bread.
• Swap almond extract for vanilla extract.
• Garnish with toasted almonds.
• Serve with a dollop of strawberry jam, blueberries, blackberries or Greek yogurt.
• Make an amaretto syrup by boiling down amaretto until it thickens.

Do you soak French toast before cooking?

Yes, you can soak the bread, but be sure it’s not for too long, which can make the French toast too soggy and difficult to handle. For this Amaretto French Toast, a few seconds per side in the egg mixture is enough to ensure the bread is adequately coated without becoming overly soggy.

Is it normal for French toast to be soggy in the middle?

French toast should not be soggy in the middle. When making French toast, it is important to ensure that the bread is adequately coated in the egg mixture, but not soaked for too long, as this can lead to sogginess. Cook the French toast until it is golden brown on both sides to ensure that it is cooked through and not soggy in the middle.
