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 butter until golden brown. Flip and brown other side. Repeat with all bread slices.

Serve warm with the Amaretto butter and Amaretto syrup.

Bon Apetite!


This is also known as Italian French Toast... at least by my Grandma.

Amaretto French Toast has been a family tradition for years, and one I do not expect to stop anytime soon. We use apricot preserves as a different topping option, as listed in the Amaretto di Saronno recipe booklet where we first discovered the recipe many moons ago!

Amaretto is an Italian liquor.

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.

I don't like french toast to begin with, but i thought what the heck. I'm glad I did, this was soooooo good. I also boozed it up a little more. I made a concotion of the butter, syrup, and amaretto instead of 2 separate ones.

Feeling devilish, I used Pernod instead of Amaretto. I was expecting it to taste ridiculous but topped with a dollop of white ice cream it was awesome.

They were good in all - but I think they need something else in them but I can't put my finger on it.

This recipe sounded great, but I made one small modification. I substituted Chambord liquor for the Amaretto and made what can only be called Raspberry French Toast. It turned out great. Highly recommend it for raspberry lovers out there like myself.
