Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Niagara peaches
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 8 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the Niagara peaches thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges, discarding the pits. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan. This will make dipping the bread easier.
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Working one slice at a time, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Do not soak the bread for too long, or it may become soggy.
Place the coated bread slices into the heated skillet, cooking 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. Cook in batches if necessary, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
While the French toast is cooking, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches, fresh blueberries, and maple syrup. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is softened and the mixture is slightly syrupy.
To serve, place two slices of French toast on a plate. Spoon the warm Niagara peach and blueberry mixture generously over the top.
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet and fruity flavors of Niagara Peach and Blueberry French Toast!
