Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah)
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Begin by prepping the peaches: slice them into thin wedges and set them aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan.
Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture, coating both sides evenly, but do not over-soak to prevent it from falling apart.
Place the soaked slice of bread onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
While cooking the French toast, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and sauté the sliced peaches for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Optional: drizzle with a little honey for added sweetness.
Plate each serving by stacking two slices of French toast, topping with sautéed peaches, and optionally dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup on top if desired.
