Boozy French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the 1/2 oz. Baileys Original Irish Cream, 4 oz. of whipping cream and 2 tbsp confectioners sugar until mixture forms soft peaks. Chill and put aside for topping the finished product.
• Combine 2 1/2 oz. of Baileys Original Irish Cream, 2 1/2 oz. of whipping cream, 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and 2 eggs in a shallow dish.
• Dip the bread into the mixture while heating 1 tbsp butter in a pan for frying.
• Fry dipped bread until golden brown on each side.
• Top with whipped cream mixture.

Steps:

• Have a rimmed dish or pan (about 1 inch deep) that fits the bread loaf snugly nearby. Using a serrated knife, slice a very thin layer (about 1/16 inch) off the bottom of the loaf to expose the surface for better batter absorption. Cut the top of the bread in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices, being sure not to cut all the way through and leaving about 1/2 inch of bread at the bottom uncut. Then turn the loaf 90 degrees and cut 1 1/2-inch slices in the other direction to make a grid-like pattern, again, not cutting all the way through. Transfer the cut loaf to the dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, cream, melted butter, rum, vanilla and salt until well combined. Slowly pour the batter into the loaf beginning in the center. Gently peel back all the pieces to drench every crevice and the top of the loaf with the batter. Allow to soak for 30 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate up to overnight.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Spoon any excess batter that has pooled into the dish back into the loaf and over any dry patches of bread. Carefully transfer the loaf to the lined baking sheet, and bake until the loaf is deeply golden brown on top and the custard has set, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and dust with the nutmeg and confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In large glass baking dish, beat eggs, milk, amaretto, vanilla and almond extract with whisk until well blended. Add bread slices; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight for bread to absorb egg mixture.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. Layer bread slices in muffin cups, sprinkling cinnamon between and on top of slices. Sprinkle with almonds.
• Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until French toast cups are puffy. Serve with syrup and strawberries.
