Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf challah or brioche bread (cut into thick slices)
- 2 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- 2 to 3 large peaches (sliced)
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together half-and-half, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Blending can help incorporate the cinnamon thoroughly.
- Dip each slice of challah or brioche bread into the custard mixture, letting it soak for 20 seconds per side without falling apart.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low and grease with butter. Cook each slice for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- While cooking, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste until soft-to-stiff peaks form.
- Slice fresh peaches into wedges; toss with a little sugar for extra flavor if desired.
- Serve by stacking the French toast, topping with whipped cream, fresh sliced peaches, and maple syrup.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use heavy cream in the custard.
Ensure bread slices are thick to prevent them from falling apart during soaking.
Add a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or nutmeg for more flavor if desired.
