How to Make Amaretto French Toast W Amaretto Butter And Syrup

1. **Make the Amaretto Butter:** In a small bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur until light and fluffy.
2. **Prepare the Amaretto Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur and 1/2 cup maple syrup (or other desired syrup).
3. **Heat the Syrup:** Bring the Amaretto syrup to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. **Cool the Syrup:** Remove from heat and let cool to warm. Set aside.
5. **Prepare the French Toast Batter:** In a shallow dish, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon Amaretto liqueur, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
6. **Cook the French Toast:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
7. **Soak the Bread:** Dip slices of your favorite bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast work well) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not soggy.
8. **Sear the French Toast:** Cook the bread slices in the hot butter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. **Serve:** Serve the Amaretto French Toast immediately, topped generously with the Amaretto butter and Amaretto syrup. Garnish with fresh berries or powdered sugar, if desired.
