Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Powdered sugar (1 tablespoon, for dusting)
  • Maple syrup (1/4 cup, warm)
  • Blueberries (1 cup)
  • Nectarines (2, sliced)
  • Cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Milk (1 cup)
  • Eggs (2)
  • Bread slices (4)
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well blended.
  2. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well soaked. Let them sit for about 10 seconds on each side to absorb the mixture.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  4. Place the soaked bread slices on the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure they are not burnt.
  5. In a saucepan, gently heat the maple syrup over low heat until warm. Be careful not to let it boil.
  6. To serve, place the French toast on a plate. Arrange the sliced nectarines and blueberries on top. Drizzle with the warm maple syrup and finish with a dusting of powdered sugar.
