Description
A delightful breakfast dish that combines juicy peaches with rich custard-soaked brioche, perfect for elevating any morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 peaches (sliced into 1/2-inch thick wedges)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tbsp butter (unsalted)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp water
- 8 slices brioche bread (cut into thick 1-inch slabs)
- 6 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk (whole)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the peach topping. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Then, add the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Cook until the peaches soften and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
- Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
- Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
- Transfer the soaked brioche slices to the preheated griddle. Cook until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the French toast hot, topped with the peach mixture, and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet.
Notes
For an extra touch, add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch, or drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness.
