Comment préparer Pecan Rum French Toast Cook's Illustrated

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Place bread slices on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until bread is slightly dry but not crunchy.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200°F (95°C).
Meanwhile, combine the following in a large bowl: 2 cups milk, 4 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons dark rum.
Whisk until well blended.
In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup pecan halves, 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Pulse until coarsely ground (about 12-15 one-second pulses).
Dip each bread slice into the milk mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked (about 20 seconds per side). Let excess drip off.
Place soaked bread slices on a plate.
Sprinkle each slice with about 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Cook 2 slices of French toast at a time, pecan-side down, until golden brown (3-4 minutes).
Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (another 3-4 minutes).
Transfer cooked French toast to the baking sheet in the 200°F (95°C) oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining slices. Repeat with remaining bread, adding 1 tablespoon of butter for each batch.
Serve warm with your favorite maple syrup.
