Salted Caramel French Toast

Ingredients:

Salted Caramel Syrup:

5 TBS Unsalted Butter

1 C. Packed Brown Sugar

1 C. Granulated Sugar

2 TSP Vanilla

3 TBS Milk

Water (more on that in the directions)

Sea Salt

Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional)

French toast:

1 Loaf French Bread (sliced to desired thickness)

3 Eggs

½ C. Milk

2 TSP Vanilla

Directions: Melt butter in saucepan, add sugars, vanilla and milk. Start by adding 3 TBSP of water. Bring to boil, stirring constantly until sugars are dissolved. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring frequently. Continue to add water 1 TBSP at a time until syrup is the desired consistency ( I believe I ended up adding about 10 tbsp total) When syrup reaches desired consistency add Sea Salt to taste. At this point do NOT dip your finger in the syrup to taste (like I did) ………it is very, very hot……TRUST me!! LOL!  Remove from heat and stir in approx. ½ cup of chopped nuts if desired. If syrup becomes too thick while waiting on the toast, you can just add a little more water.

Toast:

Whisk together the 3 eggs, ½ cup milk and 2 tsp vanilla in a bowl. Dip both sides of the bread in the mixture and cook on a griddle or in a skillet, turning once until both sides are golden brown. If you burn one side (as I usually do) it’s ok, just serve with the pretty side up………..no one will ever know ;)

Place bread on plate and top with syrup…………..YUMMY!!!!!
