Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 3 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 units Fresh peaches (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not oversaturated.
Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if needed and add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet as necessary.
While the French toast is cooking, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the peach slices to the skillet.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the peaches and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and lightly caramelized.
To serve, plate the French toast slices and top with the caramelized peaches. Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Just Peachy French Toast!
