Ingredients
  

For the Butter Pecan Topping:

  • 1½ cups chopped pecans
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • 10 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup

For the Challah French Toast:

  • 8 one inch thick slices of challah (recipe below)
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • First, make the Butter Pecan Syrup: Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the pecans for about five minutes. Then, in a three quart saucepan, melt together the butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, add the pecans, and simmer for two minutes. Keep warm.
  • For the French Toast: Beat the eggs with the cream and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter on medium heat. Dip two slices of bread in the egg mixture, briefly. Don't soak the challah in the eggs. Fry the challah on each side until golden. Add more butter as needed to cook all the challah slices.
  • Top the French toast with the Butter Pecan Topping and serve.
