White Peach Bourbon French Toast
(4 servings)
- 6 large eggs
-
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 cups whole milk
-
1/4 cup heavy cream
-
1/4 cup white peaches - pureed
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
4 slices day old brioche - sliced
-
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
-
4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
-
White Peach-Pecan Maple Syrup:
-
1 cup pure maple syrup
-
4 ripe white peaches - peeled & pitted then cut into slices
-
1/4 cup toasted pecans - chopped
-
1/2 cup bourbon
-
mint sprigs for garnish
Whisk together eggs, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk, cream and peach puree and vanilla and whisk until combined. Place brioche in a large baking dish, pour custard over and turn to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add 4 slices of the soaked bread and cook until golden brown, flip over and continue cooking until golden brown on the second side.
For The Syrup:
Heat maple syrup over low heat in a medium saucepan. Add the peaches, pecans and bourbon and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Place 1 slice of the French toast on a plate, ladle some of the peach syrup on top. Top with a second slice of toast and ladle more of the peaches on top. Garnish with a mint sprig.
For best results, don't slice the brioche super thick. About 1/2-inch thick works great. The syrup in this recipe works great on anything. Try it on waffles or pancakes too.
