French Toast with Caramelized Pears and Pecans
Real maple syrup is incredibly delicious, but carmelized pears and pecans?!
This topping takes french toast for breakfast to a new level.
Make it when pears are fresh during fall and the flavors will be amazing combined with warming cinnamon and sweet honey.
Ingredients
Directions
- Place nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray.
- Combine vanilla, pear, pecans, cinnamon, and 1⁄2 teaspoon of honey in small bowl and stir to coat. Add mixture to skillet and cook, stirring 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside. Coat skillet once more with cooking spray and return to heat.
- Beat egg, milk, and cinnamon in shallow bowl. With a fork, dip bread into egg mixture. Flip to coat both sides.
- Place bread in skillet and cook, 1 minute per side, or until bread is lightly browned and egg is cooked.
- Top with pear and pecan topping and drizzle with remaining honey.
WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
French Toast is a special, indulgent breakfast, not one you eat every day. But this approach is at least a little healthier. The recipe calls for whole wheat bread instead of white and the pear-pecan topping instead of syrup. The topping is less sugary than straight syrup and you get vitamins from the pears and healthy fats and protein from pecans.
