Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah)
• 3 Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Ripe peaches
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping the peaches: slice them into thin wedges and set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.

Step 3

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan.

Step 4

Dip one slice of bread into the custard mixture, coating both sides evenly, but do not over-soak to prevent it from falling apart.

Step 5

Place the soaked slice of bread onto the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

While cooking the French toast, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and sauté the sliced peaches for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Optional: drizzle with a little honey for added sweetness.

Step 7

Plate each serving by stacking two slices of French toast, topping with sautéed peaches, and optionally dusting with powdered sugar.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup on top if desired.
