Sweet Peach French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 slices brioche bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
• 2 ripe peaches, sliced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
• Maple syrup, for drizzling
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
2. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of unsalted butter and let it melt.
3. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are saturated but not overly soggy.
4. Place the soaked brioche slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
5. In a small bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.
6. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, cook the peach mixture for about 5 minutes, until the peaches are tender.
7. Once the French toast is cooked, transfer it to plates and top with the warm peach mixture.
8. Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
