First make Amaretto Butter by combining the 1/2 cup butter with 2 Tablespoons of Amaretto. Then make the Amaretto Syrup: In small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup Amaretto with the maple syrup. Heat to boiling. Allow to cool before serving. These will be your toppings.
To make the French Toast:
In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients except bread. Soak bread in mixture. In large skillet, melt some butter. Cook in buttter until golden brown. Flip and brown other side. Repeat with all bread slices.
Serve warm with our Amaretto butter and Amaretto syrup.
Bon Apetite!
This is also known as Italian French Toast... at least by my Grandma.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank Checkers for this recipe.
Wonderful, we used both whole wheat bread and an oatmeal bread similar to white. The oatmeal bread worked better with this recipe. I ended up using almost all of my husbands 250ml bottle of Amaretto. We all loved it with exception of my daughter who didn't like the syrup. We did boil the syrup to remove alcohol. Probably better to boil for 3-5 minutes to burn alcohol off, unless you like the alcohol flavor.

What is amaretto? You did not specify is it a syrup or a wine.
