Christmas breakfast ideas

I'm already gathering ideas for our marathon Christmas brunch and here's one I forgot I'd had tucked away in a word file. My apologies to the original author for not giving credit to them.

This sounds really good and it's going to remind me of Mexico so I think it's perfect. Now I just have to try and find Kahlua in France. I don't think I've ever looked for it but I'm guessing it's not a commonly stocked item.

Kahlua and Baileys French Toast
(*or pancakes if you want to modify the recipe to suit)

INGREDIENTS


3 eggs
2 cups milk
3 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. KahlĂșa coffee liqueur
1 tbsp. Baileys Irish cream
3 pinches salt
6 thick slices of cinnamon bread
1/4 cup confectioners sugar


PREPARATION


Beat together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, KahlĂșa, Baileys, and salt. Heat lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Soak bread slices in egg mixture for 20 seconds on each side or until thoroughly coated. Cook bread until both sides are lightly browned and crisp. Sprinkle with confectioners´ sugar and serve hot.

yes I think I will add this to my collection as well. Thanks. I am putting together my Thanksgiving menu - my first year cooking it and have already warned all of my friends that they have to come by on Friday as well to eat the leftovers since I am going overboard!!!

Hey sam I found Kahlua today in Carrefour. Baileys is usually pretty easy to find especially near the holidays. I'm going to stock up! :)

P - I have SOOOO many wonderful Thanksgiving recipes carefully collected over the years. One year I'm going to have to host a French Thanksgiving. I've never done it.
