Whisk together egg and Baileys in a shallow bowl until well combined.
1 large egg, ⅓ cup Baileys Irish Cream
Over medium heat, get a large frying pan hot. Add about 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt, tilting the pan to coat it with melted butter.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter for frying
One slice at a time, dip your bread into the egg and Baileys mixture, coating both sides fully.
4 slices of stale bread, brioche or challah
Carefully lower your coated bread into the hot butter, allowing it to fry for about 2 minutes before flipping. Your french toast should be golden brown on both sides.
Repeat for all four slices of bread. Add more butter as needed—the pan should always be buttery to get your outer layer crispy.
Keep warm in the oven at 200°F until ready to serve.
Baileys Chocolate Drizzle (Optional)
Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Allow the melted chocolate to cool for 1-2 minutes before adding Baileys and whisking until combined.
2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
Pour over warm Baileys French Toast and add whipped cream and fresh berries. Enjoy hot.
¼ cup fresh berries, 2 tablespoons whipped cream
