Peach and Raspberry French Toast

Indulge in the delightful combination of fresh peaches and luscious raspberries with this Peach and Raspberry French Toast. Perfectly golden slices of bread are soaked in a rich, cinnamon-spiced egg mixture, then cooked to perfection and topped with warm, caramelized fruits. Drizzled with pure maple syrup, this breakfast dish is not just a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes. This dish takes inspiration from the classic French toast, a beloved breakfast staple that dates back to ancient Rome, where bread was soaked in a mixture of milk and eggs. Let's elevate this tradition with the sweetness of summer fruits!

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Butter (2 tablespoons, divided)
  • Maple syrup (to taste, for serving)
  • Raspberries (1 cup, fresh)
  • Peaches (2, sliced)
  • Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Milk (1/2 cup)
  • Eggs (3 large)
  • Bread slices (6 slices, preferably thick-cut)

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, ensuring both sides are fully soaked but not overly saturated.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  4. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  5. Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm on a plate covered with a kitchen towel.
  6. In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  7. Add the sliced peaches and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  8. Gently fold in the raspberries and cook for an additional minute until warm.
  9. To serve, place the French toast on plates and top with the warm peach and raspberry mixture.
  10. Drizzle generously with maple syrup and enjoy a taste of summer with every bite!
