How to Make Bear Claw French Toast
- **Prepare the Bear Claw Butter:** In a small bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup sliced almonds until well combined.
- **Whisk the Custard:** In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- **Cook the French Toast:** Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the prepared Bear Claw Butter to the hot skillet.
- **Dip and Sizzle:** Dip 2-3 slices of bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast recommended) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Place the bread in the skillet, allowing it to cook undisturbed until golden brown and crispy on the bottom (about 2-3 minutes).
- **Add Almonds & Flip:** Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds over the top of the bread slices. Carefully flip the French toast and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through (about 2-3 minutes).
- **Repeat:** Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining Bear Claw Butter and bread slices.
- **Serve:** Serve immediately, topped with an additional tablespoon of the prepared Bear Claw Butter and your choice of syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar.
