About this recipe
French toast with caramelized peaches is a quick, sweet breakfast with crisp edges and a soft center. Slices of bread are dipped in an egg mixture with milk and cinnamon, then fried in butter until golden brown. Peaches cooked briefly with butter, sugar, and a little lemon juice go on top, creating a glossy, aromatic fruit sauce. This easy dish works for a weekend breakfast, brunch, or a warm dessert and tastes best immediately after preparation.
Ingredients
French Toast
4 slices white bread or challah, preferably slightly stale
2 eggs
100 ml milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon butter for frying
Caramelized Peaches
2 ripe peaches
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or vanillin sugar
For Serving
2 tablespoons plain yogurt or cream
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or almonds
powdered sugar for dusting, optional
Steps
Beat the eggs with the milk, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a deep plate until evenly combined.
Wash the peaches, cut them in half, remove the pits, and cut them into eighths or thick slices.
Melt the tablespoon of butter allocated to the fruit in a skillet. Add the peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Cook for 3–5 minutes, until the fruit softens and is coated in a thick syrup; transfer the fruit and syrup to a dish.
Heat part of the separate tablespoon of butter allocated to the toast in a clean skillet, reserving the rest for the next batch. Briefly dip both sides of each bread slice in the egg mixture so it absorbs some liquid without falling apart.
Fry over medium heat for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden. For the second batch, use the reserved part of the same tablespoon of butter; lower the heat if the toast browns too quickly.
Arrange the toast on plates and add the peaches with their syrup, the yogurt or cream, and the nuts. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
