Peaches & Cream French Toast is a delightful breakfast dish that combines the sweetness of peaches with the richness of cream, all on a base of fluffy French toast. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- For the French Toast:
- 4 slices of thick bread (like brioche or challah)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter for cooking
- For the Peaches & Cream Topping:
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whipped cream)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peaches: In a bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugar and vanilla extract. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to macerate.
- Make the French Toast Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly. Cook the bread slices in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Prepare the Cream: If using heavy cream, whip it until soft peaks form. You can also use store-bought whipped cream for convenience.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the French toast on a plate, top with the macerated peaches, and dollop with whipped cream.
- Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle with maple syrup if desired, and enjoy your Peaches & Cream French Toast!
This dish is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, combining the flavors of summer with the comfort of French toast. Enjoy!
