French toast is a breakfast classic, but when you take it up a notch with bacon, cream cheese, and bourbon maple syrup, you get something truly extraordinary. This stuffed French toast is the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and indulgent, making it ideal for a weekend brunch or a special breakfast treat.
The combination of crispy bacon layered inside thick slices of bread with a lightly sweetened cream cheese filling creates a decadent surprise with every bite. Using brioche or Texas toast gives this dish the structure it needs while keeping it rich and soft inside.
The finishing touch comes with a drizzle of warm maple syrup infused with a splash of bourbon. The bourbon adds depth and a subtle smoky note that pairs beautifully with the bacon. Even without the bourbon, the maple syrup alone gives this dish all the sweetness it needs.
