Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined and frothy.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side to absorb the flavors without becoming too soggy.
- Carefully place the soaked bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm on a plate or in a warm oven.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced peaches and blueberries. Cook them for 2-3 minutes, or until the fruits are slightly softened and fragrant.
- Drizzle the maple syrup over the cooked fruits and stir gently to combine, allowing the fruits to soak up the syrup.
- On each plate, layer a few slices of French toast and generously top with the warm peach and blueberry mixture.
- Dust with powdered sugar just before serving and enjoy the delightful harmony of flavors.
Tips
- For added richness, consider using half-and-half instead of milk.
- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor depth.
- If you prefer a crunchy texture, top your French toast with chopped nuts before serving.
