Ingredients
Coffee Syrup
- 3 cups brewed coffee
- 2.5 cups white sugar
Brown Sugar French Toast
- 4 slices multigrain bread approximately 1 inch thick
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 dash salt
Instructions
Coffee Syrup
- Pour the coffee and white sugar into a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring it occasionally.
- Once the sugar has dissolved completely, reduce the heat and bring the coffee/sugar mixture to a simmer.
- Allow it to simmer for 18 to 20 minutes. This will give you thicker syrup.
- Once the 18 to 20 minutes is up, remove it from heat and let it cool.
- Pour the syrup in a glass container. Store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Brown Sugar French Toast
- In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, and the almond extract. Whisk together. Then add the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Whisk together until combined.
- Slice your bread into 4 1-inch thick pieces.
- Preheat your griddle with butter. While the butter is melting, allow a piece of bread to soak in the French Toast batter. You'll want to soak each side of the slice of bread. Repeat this for each slice of bread.
- Once the griddle is ready, place the French Toast on the griddle. Let it cook on each side until each side is golden brown.
- Serve the Brown Sugar French Toast while it is still warm. Top with your homemade coffee syrup. I suggest a dollop of whipped cream, too. Enjoy!
