Stuffed Pecan Pie French Toast

"I have many versions of French Toast, but I have to say this is one of my favorites. So easy to make and tastes great. The pecans give it a nice crunch and the bread stays moist. It's like eating pecan pie for breakfast. Yummy! Easy to double for more hearty eaters..."

Questions & Replies

  1. Does the batter have to have an entire cup of sugar? I thought if I watched myself for the entire week I could treat myself. As much as I want it, I’ll have to pass. Maybe someone did/said something in the reviews that would help me

  1. I can't say enough good things about this recipe. I make it every weekend - it's a HUGE hit in our house! I've used the rasien bread, regular bread and homemade bread - it's all amazing.
     
  2. oh gracious this is good! i didn't have the cinnamon swirl toast, so i just used thick sliced "Texas Toast". i used a little more pecans than called for (i really love pecans). also, i only used 2/3 cup sugar in the egg mixture and found that it was plenty sweet. i put a little of the pecan mixture on top before baking and loved the extra pecans. and i didn't even need to use powdered sugar on the finished product because it was so rich and sweet already. i can't imagine eating more than one serving, it is RIIICH! thanks so much for sharing!

  5. I reduced this recipe for 2 slices of brioche bread. Batter: 2 eggs, one half cup milk, 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon Tennessee Honey Whiskey. Topping: 1 tablespoon butter, one ripe banana in medium slices, one half cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup. Yum.
