- In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and add the sliced nectarines.

- Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your delicious Nectarine French Toast!
Tips
- For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread, which will hold the egg mixture better and add a lovely sweetness.
- You can also swap nectarines for peaches or plums for a different fruity twist.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor that complements the cinnamon beautifully.
