During my years in Hong Kong, breakfast was seldom sweet. Usually, we eat a traditional Chinese breakfast or a westernized breakfast of eggs and sausages. On rare occasions, my dad would make us French toast. I would obliterate my French toast with maple syrup. I am so addicted to that stuff. You understand, right? In Hong Kong, French toast is not considered a breakfast item. It’s served throughout the day in cafes and sold by many street vendors. My favorite is from the street vendors. I can never say no to street foods. These babies are stuffed with crunchy peanut butter, sprinkled with coarse sugar with a drizzle of either honey or syrup. This week, in order to relive some childhood memories, I’m making a Paleo Stuffed Vanilla Bourbon French Toast.
Yes, you heard me correctly. We are making a Paleo Stuffed Vanilla Bourbon French Toast. Since my son has severe peanut and cashew allergies, we will use a delicious pecan butter from Purely Pecans. My paleo French toast is stuffed with pecan butter and a thin layer of orange marmalade. Just like a PB&J. The orange marmalade adds a delicious citrus note and makes the pecan butter go down smoother. Without further delay, let’s make these puppies!

All right, I’m going to be completely honest here. Most of the ingredients are fairly important. To make our Stuffed Vanilla Bourbon French Toast, you will need good vanilla, bourbon, pecan butter, marmalade and maple syrup. I used pure vanilla extract but if you want to go the fancy route, scrape fresh vanilla beans in it. I use Purely Pecan because it is delicious and allergen safe for my son. Marmalade wise, I like a bitter orange marmalade. If you like a bit more tang, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. OK, enough about ingredients, let’s get started!
