Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 2 thick slices brioche, challah, or farm loaf bread
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 can sliced peaches in syrup
- 100 grams (about 6) digestive biscuits
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 60 grams melted butter
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons soft dark brown sugar
- Store-bought caramel sauce
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Spices and Thickeners:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and caster sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and well-blended, creating a rich custard base for the French toast.
- Carefully dip thick bread slices into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated with the creamy custard.
- Cook the soaked bread slices on low heat in a non-stick skillet, grilling until each side turns a beautiful golden-brown color, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- In a separate pan, warm the peaches with their syrup over medium heat, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid for later use.
- Create a smooth cornstarch slurry by straining the reserved syrup to eliminate any potential lumps, then mix with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the peaches, gently stirring until the sauce slightly thickens and becomes glossy, then remove from heat.
- Pulverize digestive biscuits into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Combine the biscuit crumbs with melted butter, additional cinnamon, and dark brown sugar, mixing until every crumb is thoroughly coated.
- Arrange the golden French toast on serving plates, generously top with the warm, spiced peaches, and sprinkle the biscuit crumb mixture over the top.
- Complete the dish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a luxurious drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Bread Selection Opt for thick, slightly stale bread like brioche or challah for better absorption and crispier texture.
- Egg Mixture Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of sugar and vanilla, creating a more flavorful coating.
- Low Heat Cooking Fry French toast on low heat to prevent burning and achieve a golden, evenly cooked surface.
- Syrup Thickening Strain cornstarch mixture to avoid lumps and create a smooth, glossy peach sauce.
- Biscuit Crumb Consistency Crush digestive biscuits finely for a more uniform and crispy cobbler topping.
- Dietary Modifications Substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a lactose-free version, and use gluten-free bread and biscuits for a gluten-free alternative.
