Cook The Book: French Toast With Shaved Apples And Bacon Beer Brats

1. 1

   Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, and salt and stir well to combine. (If you have one, use an immersion blender to emulsify all the ingredients.)

2. 2

   Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture until saturated. Meanwhile, split each sausage link down the middle, almost cutting it in half but not severing it. Brown the sausages on a griddle or in a frying pan over medium-high heat. While the sausages are cooking, heat a deep fryer to high or heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the bread until both sides are deep brown. Plate 3 slices of French toast with 1 sausage link, top with a pile of apples, and drizzle the entire thing with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Repeat the with remaining ingredients.
