Editorial Notes
The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

- For the butter, use stick-style margarine or softened butter, not low-fat margarine or soft tub type.
- For a different flavor, try using Irish Cream instead of Amaretto.
- Substitute almond extract for Amaretto for a more subtle almond flavor. The benefit of this substitution is that almond extract is a more concentrated flavor, so a little goes a long way. This would allow you to reduce the amount of Amaretto used in the recipe, while still getting a delicious almond flavor.
- Substitute coconut oil for butter. The benefit of this substitution is that coconut oil is a healthier alternative to butter, and it adds a delicious coconut flavor to the recipe. Additionally, coconut oil is a great vegan alternative to butter for those who are looking for a plant-based option.
Cinnamon French Toast In shallow bowl mix all remaining ingredients except bread. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the mixture. Dip bread slices in mixture until just soaked through. Cook in butter until both sides are golden brown. Serve immediately with Amaretto butter and Amaretto Syrup.
Baked Apples with Cinnamon and Walnuts: A sweet and crunchy side dish to complement the richness of the French Toast. The cinnamon and walnuts add a nutty flavor that pairs nicely with the amaretto syrup.
Blueberry and Almond Parfait: A light and refreshing breakfast or dessert that's perfect for pairing with the French Toast. The combination of sweet blueberries and crunchy almonds adds a delightful contrast to the richness of the amaretto syrup.
