Directions
For the French Toast
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and Somethin’ For Autumn until thoroughly combined.
- Dip and soak the sourdough bread slices in the custard mixture. I let them soak for about 15 to 20 seconds per side.
- While your bread is soaking, head up a large skillet over medium heat, adding a enough butter to fry once heated. I start with 1 pad of butter, adding more as needed.
- Fry the custard soaked sourdough for 2 minutes-ish and flip, cooking for additional minute or so until golden brown.
- Place finished french toast in the oven at 170 degrees to keep warm while we cook the other stuff!
For the Pork Belly and Pecan Topping
- In that same skillet over medium heat, add the pork belly and cook for 5 minutes, until the fat begins to render and the pork belly gets nice and crispy around the edges.
- Add B.T. Leigh’s Somethin’ For Autumn and fold it into the pork to incorporate.
- Once the pork is thoroughly coated, add the pecans and toast for 2 minutes.
- Plate up the french toast and layer over the topping then finish with a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
