Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 medium Fresh peaches (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 cup Apple butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not overly saturated.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, coating the entire surface evenly.
Place the dipped bread slices into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary, adding more butter as needed.
In a separate smaller skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches and honey, and cook for 5-6 minutes until the peaches are soft, caramelized, and fragrant.
To serve, place two slices of French toast on each plate. Top with the caramelized peaches and a generous dollop of apple butter.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for garnish and add fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious breakfast!
