Ingredients

6 3/4" slices day old Wegman's challah bread (171 grams)
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (8 fl oz)
3 large eggs
3 tbsp bourbon (1.5 fl oz)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp brown sugar (14 grams)
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Heat large skillet or griddle over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a casserole dish or other shallow, wide dish, beat eggs with milk, bourbon, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Soak bread without oversaturating, about 30-40 seconds per side. Pick up bread and allow excess batter to drip off; repeat with remaining slices.
Optional: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in hot skillet or griddle.
Add prepared bread to skillet without overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute 45 seconds on first side and 1 minute on the second. Serve immediately.

A note on nutrition info and bourbon: the macros listed above are estimated based on the assumption that all alcohol that soaks into the bread cooks off completely. However, I cannot guarantee that all alcohol will cook off, so if you're tracking macros closely, you may want to assume that 1-2 tsp of alcohol remains per serving in the final cooked French toast, adding about 20-30 calories and 5-6 grams of carbs (or 2-3 grams of fat) per serving.
