Ingredients
– 8 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
– 6 strips of thick-cut bacon
– 4 large eggs
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
– 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
– 1 cup pure maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons bourbon
– Pinch of salt
Instructions
1-Kicking off your cooking adventure starts with getting all your ingredients lined up. Measure out the bourbon, maple syrup, and other items to ensure smooth sailing. If you’re making adjustments for dietary preferences, like using vegan bacon or gluten-free bread, have those ready now.
2-Next, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lay the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This step helps achieve that perfect crispy texture without a mess.
3-Bake the bacon for 12-15 minutes, flipping it halfway through for even results. While that’s happening, warm the bourbon and maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat for about 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors beautifully.
4-Toast your bread slices in a pan with butter until they’re golden and crisp, which takes just a few minutes. For a lighter option, swap butter for olive oil if you prefer.
5-Once everything is ready, layer the crispy bacon on the toast and drizzle with the bourbon maple mixture. Add any extras like herbs for a fresh twist, then serve it warm for the ultimate enjoyment.
