Peach and Plum French Toast

Ingredients

• Bread slices (8 slices (preferably thick-cut, like brioche or challah))
• Eggs (4 large)
• Milk (1 cup (whole or 2% for creaminess))
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
• Fresh peaches (2, pitted and sliced)
• Fresh plums (2, pitted and sliced)
• Maple syrup (to taste, for drizzling)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the skillet)

Instructions

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 15-30 seconds on each side to absorb the flavors.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
4. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and keep warm.
6. In the same skillet, add the sliced peaches and plums. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the fruits are slightly softened and fragrant.
7. To serve, stack the French toast on plates and top with the warm, caramelized peaches and plums.
8. Drizzle generously with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
