Ingredients
4 thick slices of brioche or challah
2 large eggs
1/2 cup half & half
2 Tbsp amaretto liqueur
1 tsp vanilla extract
10 grinds of Fennel & Fire Coffee Twist
1 Tbsp butter
Cherry Amaretto Jam
1/2 cup cherry preserves
1 Tbsp amaretto liqueur
10 grinds of Fennel and Fire Coffee Twist
Directions
1. Prepare the batter. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, amaretto, vanilla extract and Fennel and Fire Coffee Twist seasoning until smooth.
2. Soak the bread. Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let sit for 15-30 seconds per side to absorb the flavors.
3. Cook the French toast. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Cook each slice for two to three minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
4. Make the Cherry Amaretto Jam. In a small microwave-proof bowl, warm the cherry preserves with amaretto and Fennel and Fire Coffee Twist seasoning, stirring until smooth, slightly thickened and warmed
through — about 30 seconds.
5. Assemble. Plate the French toast, pour a small amount of War Eagle Berry Syrup or maple syrup on top, and generously top with the cherry amaretto mixture.
6. Garnish and serve. Top with a small dollop of whipped cream and finish with a few extra grinds of Fennel and Fire Coffee Twist seasoning. Serve immediately and enjoy!
