Preheat the griddle for cooking French toast.

In a mixing bowl, break 4 eggs and add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon of butter extract.

Add 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar and 1/4 cup of white sugar to the egg mixture and whisk together.

Add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the egg mixture, whisking to combine.

Add the toasted pecans to the egg mixture and stir to incorporate.

Pour the egg mixture over 6 slices of brioche bread, ensuring both sides are coated.

Place the coated bread on the preheated griddle and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Add 1 cup of dark brown sugar and whisk until combined.

Stir in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and bring to a boil.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir to combine.

Reduce heat to low and keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.

Serve the French toast topped with the butter pecan sauce.
