Peach-Stuffed French Toast

This recipe is definitely worth sharing...

Peach-Stuffed French Toast

4 tablespoons of unsalted butter

2 tablespoons of light brown sugar

3 ripe peaches, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

2 tablespoons of heavy cream

8 slices of brioche, french, or sourdough bread

3 large eggs

1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

confectioner's sugar

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in large skillet over medium-low heat until the butter foams.
Add in the brown sugar and stir for 30 seconds.

Add the peaches (with their juice), turn heat up to medium-high, and cook for 3 minutes while stirring frequently.

Stir in the cream and simmer for 2 minutes over low heat. (I didn't have any heavy cream so I used skim milk. I was worried it wouldn't work, but it turned out fine.)

Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.

Heat the oven to 200.
Place 4 slices of bread on baking sheet and spread peach mixture over the top leaving a 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch space around the edges of the bread.

Reserve small amount of peach mixture for topping.

Top with another slice of bread and press gently.

In a shallow bowl, beat eggs and cinnamon.

Soak each sandwich in the mixture for 1-2 minutes per side.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Place 2 sandwiches in the skillet at the time & cook until browned & slightly crispy on each side.

Transfer to the baking sheet & place in the oven to keep warm.

Repeat with the other 2 sandwiches.

Serve topped with remaining peach mixture/juices and powdered sugar.

This was a perfect dinner & a great use of the fresh peaches I needed to use!
