Birthday Breakfast : “PB & J” French Toast w/ Applewood Bacon

Happy Birthday to ME!!!  Yeah!!!  Today, June 30th, is my birthday!!  And can you guess what I’m waking up to for my Birthday Breakfast??  PB something of course!  I usually request Julie’s PB Stuffed French Toast on special occasions, but today I’m going for something a little more extravagant!

If you liked Julie’s PB Stuffed French Toast than you’ll love this!  It is a doctored up version of the PB Stuffed French Toast with a twist!  From Gail Simmons at KitchenDaily.com, she calls her recipe, “PB & J” French Toast w/ Applewood Bacon.  Gail always knows how to take everyday recipes to the next level, by adding tons of flavor and flare – without loosing their simplicity!

Ingredients

    • 1 loaf brioche bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices
    • 1 cup 2% milk
    • 4 large eggs
    • 3/4 cup all-natural Krema Creamy PB
    • 3 tablespoons honey
    • 3 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoons unslated butter
    • powdered sugar
    • 2 cups red seedless grapes, split in half lengthwise
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • juice of 1 lemon
    • 12 slices applewood smoked bacon

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lay bacon out on a sheet tray and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

Place grapes, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until syrupy and grapes are tender – about 5-6 minutes.

In a blender, combine milk, eggs, peanut butter, honey, sugar and vanilla. Pulse until everything is combined then pour out into a flat gratin or roasting dish. Take slices of brioche and dip into the batter and press gently so it soaks up some of the batter. Set a large, non-stick saute pan over medium-high heat and add a little butter, once the butter is foaming add the dipped brioche (remove excess batter by shaking a little) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Keep warm in a toaster oven while you cook the rest.

To serve stack the french toast up in the center of a plate and spoon grape mixture over the center so it drips down the sides. Top the stack with 2 slices of crispy bacon and cover everything with powdered sugar.

Have a good one and eat some natural PB, just for me ;-)
