US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Remove the seed from each peach and slice into 8 equal slices.
  • In a pan, add 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Stir just to evenly combine and let it caramelize over medium heat for 8 minutes. Make sure not to stir while the sugar is caramelizing, but instead occasionally lift the pan with one hand and swirl it around to ensure even browning.
  • Once the sugar has browned, add in the butter and rum. Stir for about 1 minute on low heat and add in the peaches. Let the peaches soften in the warm syrup for about 3 more minutes.
    Steps to make Peach French Toast: make the peach syrup by caramelizing water and sugar and then melting butter in it, adding rum, and finally cooking the peaches in it.
  • Combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp cinnamon with a fork in a shallow dish or plate. Set aside for later.
    Steps to make Peach French Toast: combine sugar and cinnamon with a fork.
  • Whisk together the eggs and milk in a deep dish.
  • Dip each slice of the bread in the egg mixture and fry on a greased pan over medium heat. Fry the toast until golden brown on each side.
  • Lightly dredge each fried toast in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Then pour your desired amount of peach syrup over the toast. Add a dollop of Creme Fraiche. If you don't want to use Creme Fraiche, whipped cream works too.
    Steps to make Peach French Toast: whisk the eggs and milk, then soak the bread in it, fry the french toast, and finally coat them in cinnamon sugar.

Notes

  • Don't stir the sugar- Make sure not to stir while the sugar is caramelizing, but instead occasionally lift the pan with one hand and swirl it around to ensure even browning.
  • Use deep dishes for dipping- You want to get a good coating of the egg mixture on each slice of bread, so use a deep enough dish.
  • Combine the cinnamon and sugar ahead of time- Don't sprinkle them on separately, but instead premix them so your French Toast gets the perfect combination and coating of each.
  • Add the cinnamon sugar while the French toast is warm- While it's still warm, the surface is moist and steamy, making it easy for the sugar mixture to adhere to it.
