Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Bread slices (8 slices (preferably brioche or challah))
  • Eggs (4 large)
  • Milk (1 cup (whole or almond milk))
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • Mango (1 large, peeled and diced)
  • Nectarines (2 large, sliced)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Maple syrup (to taste)
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the skillet)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
  4. Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
  5. Once the French toast is cooked, transfer it to a plate and keep warm.
  6. In the same skillet, add the sliced nectarines and diced mango. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the fruits soften and warm through.
  7. To serve, arrange a couple of slices of French toast on each plate. Generously top with the warm mixture of nectarines and mango.
  8. Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of sweetness.
  9. Enjoy your tropical-inspired Nectarine and Mango French Toast!
