- 8 slices challah or brioche bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 tsp chai spice blend (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, nutmeg)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup pecans
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
How to make Chai-Spiced French Toast with Maple Pecan Syrup
- Prepare the Maple Pecan Syrup first: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 1/2 cup of maple syrup and 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, stirring to combine.
- Bring the syrup mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the syrup to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and keep warm while you prepare the French toast.
- For the Chai-Spiced Custard: In a shallow dish wide enough to fit a slice of bread, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1.5 teaspoons of chai spice blend until well combined and smooth.
- Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter or a neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed oil) and swirl to coat the pan.
- Dip one slice of challah or brioche bread into the chai-spiced custard, allowing it to soak for about 20-30 seconds per side, ensuring the bread is fully saturated but not soggy. Let any excess custard drip off.
- Carefully place the soaked bread onto the preheated griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, cooked through, and the surface is lightly crisp. The internal temperature should be soft and custardy.
- Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the griddle as needed for each batch.
- Serve the warm Chai-Spiced French Toast immediately, generously drizzled with the warm Maple Pecan Syrup. Dust with powdered sugar for a final flourish, if desired.
