Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked without becoming too soggy. Allow excess mixture to drip off.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary, adding more butter as needed.
- Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and add the sliced peaches. Cook the peaches for 2-3 minutes until they soften and caramelize slightly.
- To serve, stack the French toast on plates, top generously with the warm peach slices, and drizzle with maple syrup.
- Finish with a light dusting of powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider using almond extract in place of vanilla.
- You can also add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for a more complex spice profile.
- Try substituting the fresh peaches with other fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or even mixed berries for a different twist.
