Serves 4

Ingredients

Eggs: 4, large
Milk: 1 cup
Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
Bread slices: 8 slices (preferably thick-cut, like brioche or challah)
Raspberries: 1 cup, fresh
Nectarines: 2, pitted and sliced
Maple syrup: 1/4 cup, for drizzling
Powdered sugar: 2 tablespoons, for dusting
Butter or cooking spray: for greasing the skillet

Instructions

In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring to coat both sides thoroughly for maximum flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm by covering with a clean kitchen towel.
In the same skillet, add the sliced nectarines and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened and fragrant.
Gently fold in the raspberries and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
To serve, place the warm French toast on a plate and generously top with the warm nectarine and raspberry mixture.
Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Enjoy your delightful Nectarine and Raspberry French Toast, and consider pairing it with a side of crispy bacon or a refreshing fruit salad for a complete breakfast experience.

Tips

💡 For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
💡 Feel free to substitute nectarines with peaches or plums for a different fruit profile.
💡 If you prefer a vegan option, use almond milk and flax eggs instead of regular eggs and milk.
