Description
A decadent and comforting Peach Cobbler French Toast recipe that blends fluffy bread soaked in cinnamon-spiced egg mixture with warm, sweet peaches and a buttery streusel topping. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch treat.
Ingredients
French Toast
- 6 slices bread
- 1 can sliced peaches (or fresh peaches, drained if canned)
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Streusel Topping
- 1/4 cup butter (cold, cubed)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until well combined to create a smooth custard for dipping the bread.
- Dip the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not soaked through, so they absorb the flavors without becoming soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Warm the peaches: While the French toast cooks, warm the sliced peaches either in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave until heated through, to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Make the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the cold butter, flour, and sugar. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble and serve: Place the cooked French toast on plates, top with warm peaches, then generously sprinkle the streusel topping over everything. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread like brioche or challah for best results that hold up well to soaking.
- Fresh peaches can be substituted for canned; peel and slice them before warming.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
- If desired, serve with maple syrup or whipped cream for an indulgent touch.
- Keep the skillet at medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring the bread cooks through.
