Ingredients

Serves: Update

1 loaf brioche bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices

1 cup 2% milk

4 large eggs

3/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons unsalted 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.
