Hey there, breakfast lovers! 🍳
Let me share my absolute favorite indulgent breakfast recipe that’ll have your family fighting over the last bite. Trust me, this Crispy Bacon-Wrapped French Toast with Maple-Butter Drizzle is what breakfast dreams are made of!
You know those mornings when you want something extra special? Well, honey, this is it! I’ve perfected this recipe over countless Sunday brunches, and my kids literally jump out of bed when they smell this cooking.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 8 thick slices of brioche bread
– 16 bacon strips
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– Pinch of salt
– 1/4 cup butter
– Pure maple syrup
Y’all, let me walk you through this heavenly creation step by step:
1. First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F. We’ll need it later, trust me!
1. Take your bacon strips and wrap two pieces around each slice of brioche, securing with toothpicks. (Pro tip: slightly stretch the bacon for better wrapping!)
1. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This is where the magic happens, ladies!
1. Now, carefully dip each bacon-wrapped bread slice into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated. Don’t let it get too soggy though – nobody likes a soggy bottom! 😉

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once it’s melting and bubbling, add your prepared slices.
1. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. The bacon should start to crisp up nicely.
1. Transfer the slices to a baking sheet and pop them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes to ensure the bacon is perfectly crispy.
1. While that’s happening, mix some warm maple syrup with melted butter for the most amazing drizzle you’ve ever tasted!
Serve these bad boys hot, drizzled with your maple-butter mixture and maybe a few berries on the side if you’re feeling fancy (or trying to convince yourself this is somewhat healthy 😂).
Let me tell you, this recipe has gotten me more marriage proposals than my dating years! It’s that good! The combination of crispy, salty bacon with the sweet, custardy French toast is absolutely to die for.
