Cooking for 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil for oiling the grill grates
  • 8 pieces thick-cut brioche, about 1-inch thick each
  • 8 fresh pork breakfast sausage links
  • 4 peaches, sliced in half, pits removed

Egg Mixture

  • 4 eggs
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Maple Bourbon Syrup

  • 0.75 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp. bourbon
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. butter

1 Food Prep

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the egg mixture.

Combine the ingredients for the maple bourbon syrup in a saucepan.

Prepare the peaches by slicing them in half and removing the pits.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets

Method: Two-Zone Method

Temp: 375°–400°F (Medium Heat)

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • While your coals are warming up, simmer the ingredients for the syrup on low for 5 minutes to let the ingredients combine.

  • Submerge the bread slices into the egg mixture and then prepare to grill them. 
  • Grill the French toast until char marks form on one side, then flip and grill the other side. This should take about 2–3 minutes per side.

  • While grilling the French toast, grill the peaches and breakfast sausage until char marks form. 
  • Turning occasionally for even browning, cook the sausage links for 6−7 minutes, until the juices run clear and the center of the links reach an internal temperature of 160°F on a digital meat thermometer.

  • Serve the grilled French toast with the grilled peaches, sausage and a nice drizzle of the maple bourbon syrup on top.
