    So if you have been following me for a while here on the blog then you may know how I feel about French toast. I love it! It is so delicious. I will never forget the first time that I had it was when I was a child and I spent the night at my Aunt’s house and when she asked me what I wanted for breakfast, I told her cinnamon toast. This is basically toast with butter, cinnamon, and sugar, but instead, she made me French toast. I immediately fell in love with it and once I realized how easy it is to make it has become a staple in my toolkit of recipes.

    Now I have shared a few recipes with you on the blog and some good breakfast or brunch options, but I also enjoy having French toast as a dessert as well. Especially when you pair it with your favorite ice cream and add in a little rum for a little something extra. This recipe incorporates rum, light or dark, into the egg mixture as well as adding rum into the maple syrup to drizzle over the Rum French Toast at the end. This is certainly not your kiddos French toast. AND since we are all about taking desserts to the next level, you will pair this warm, buttery, rum flavored French toast with your favorite ice cream.

    Just imagine the hot, steamy French toast topped with some cool, creamy, ice cream. Plus it really does not matter what kind of ice cream you use either, but if I were you I would pair it with some rum raisin ice cream. Rum French Toast a la mode anyone? Yes, I thought you would like it.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 baguette
    • 2 large eggs
    • ½ cup half and half
    • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup rum
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • ¼ cup maple syrup

    Instructions
     

    • Cut the baguette into ½-inch slices on the diagonal.
    • Using a baking dish, whisk together the eggs, half and half, sugar, 3 tablespoons of the rum, add in the slices of baguette, and soak for about 10 minutes turning occasionally until the liquid has been soaked up into the bread.

      Cassidy was looking over my shoulder and saying, "OH YEAH! Make that!" His birthday is coming up so I will.
      Maple syrup is rampant around here right now, in sugaring season. And rum? Makes me feel all warm inside. Although the ice cream balances that out.
