Crème Brûlée French Toast – Black Friday Brunch at Bonefish Grill

Are you a Black Friday shopper?  More importantly, are you a Black Friday eater?  This year, Bonefish Grill has decided to offer their amazing brunch menu, which is usually only available on Sundays, on Black Friday and throughout the weekend!  What a super idea!  After rushing through the stores all morning, snatching up excellent deals, I can’t think of a better way to take a breather than with a delicious meal from Bonefish Grill.

My family and I were invited to try out their brunch over the weekend, and we knew going into it that we were in for a treat.

Aaron started off with a delicious, spicy Bloody Mary, while I stuck with a refreshing Peach Bellini.

 (The kids had pop, but I didn’t think you’d be as excited about that as they were.)

First off, we decided to try their Singapore Calamari starter.  The calamari were deliciously tender, and well spiced, and they were fried up nice and crispy, with strips of sweet peppers, and served alongside a sweet-spicy Asian inspired sauce.

I know what you’re probably thinking.  We went to Bonefish Grill and didn’t order Bang Bang Shrimp?  Well, don’t worry. Not only is it still available as a starter on the brunch menu, but you can also decide, like my husband, to try their amazing Bang Bang Shrimp Eggs Benedict.

I, however, decided to try their delectable Crème Brûlée French Toast.  French toast is one of my favorite breakfast treats, and when you pair that up with one of my favorite desserts, I just couldn’t pass it up.

The thick slices of French bread are soaked in a rich bath of cream, eggs, vanilla and Grand Marnier, before being cooked up on the stove top to a beautiful golden brown.  Then, they sprinkle the toast slices with raw sugar and give them a quick turn under the broiler, until there’s that nice, crunchy sugar crust I love in Crème Brûlée.  It was delicious, and lucky for us, Bonefish Grill was nice enough to share the recipe with all of us so we can try it at home!

So when you’re out and about this weekend, and your stomach starts grumbling, don’t forget this wonderful way to wind down after a busy morning.  Head on over to Bonefish Grill and take a break.  Black Friday shopping is hard work!  You deserve this.
