We wanted our brunch party full of brunchy bites, edible tidbits that could (for the most part) be eaten without a fork or other utensils. But when I decided wanted to serve French toast, it proved to be a bit of a bite-sized dilemma. The solution came to me from above (actually, just Pinterest) where I saw bite-sized sticks of French toast served in shot glasses of maple syrup. Brilliant and perfect.
I added some bourbon to my favorite basic French toast recipe, which seemed more than appropriate seeing as I was serving it in shot glasses. My motto? Where a vanilla is good, bourbon is better.
I used these slanted cylinder cups (since I didn’t exactly have 20+ shot glasses on hand and wouldn’t have wanted to wash them even if I did), but small jars or dixie cups would work here too.
My favorite French toast recipe is below, spiked with a bit of bourbon for good measure, but you can use your favorite recipe, or mix it up and make something extra special like this Horchata French Toast or even Boozy Salted Caramel French Toast (served with a shot of boozy caramel sauce instead of straight maple syrup).
