Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Brioche bread
- 2 Fresh peaches
- 8 ounces Brie cheese
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Start by preparing the peaches. Wash and slice the peaches into thin wedges, removing the pits.
In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the peach slices and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the brie cheese into thin pieces and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar to create the custard mixture.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
To assemble, place a slice of brie and a few caramelized peach slices on one piece of brioche bread. Top with another slice of brioche to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices to make 4 sandwiches total.
Carefully dip each sandwich into the custard mixture, making sure to coat both sides, but avoid soaking for too long to prevent it from falling apart.
Place the soaked sandwiches on the hot skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and warmed through. Work in batches if necessary.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast sandwiches to serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve with maple syrup on the side.
