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
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 15-30 seconds on each side to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and keep warm.
- 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.
- To serve, stack the French toast on plates and top with the warm, caramelized peaches and plums.
- Drizzle generously with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, try using almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk.
- You can also add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for an extra layer of warmth.
- Consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a dessert twist.
