Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices bread
- 1 can sliced peaches (or fresh peaches)
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Streusel Topping
- 1/4 cup butter (cold)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until well combined, creating a smooth custard base for the French toast.
- Dip the Bread: Submerge each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly but not become overly saturated to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat and cook the soaked bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Warm the Peaches: Heat the sliced peaches until warm, either in a small pan over low heat or in the microwave, to ensure they complement the hot French toast.
- Make the Streusel Topping: Combine cold butter, flour, and sugar in a bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble and Serve: Place the cooked French toast on plates, top with the warm peaches, sprinkle the streusel topping generously on top, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using day-old bread can help the slices hold the batter better without falling apart.
- If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them before warming.
- The streusel topping can be prepared ahead and kept chilled until ready to use.
- For extra flavor, add a dash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
- Serve with maple syrup or whipped cream if desired for added sweetness.
