Ingredients:

2 thick slices of brioche, challah, or farm loaf bread
2 medium eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons caster sugar (for the custard)
1 can (approximately 15 ounces) sliced peaches in syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon (for the peach mixture)
2 tablespoons caster sugar (for the peach mixture)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
100g (approximately 6) digestive biscuits
60g melted butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon (for the biscuit topping)
1.5 tablespoons soft dark brown sugar (for the biscuit topping)
Store-bought caramel sauce, for drizzling
Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Prepare the Peaches

Start by draining your canned peaches. It’s important to reserve the syrup as we’ll be using some of it to create a delicious peachy glaze. Carefully pour the drained peaches into a medium saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir everything together gently to ensure the peaches are coated. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of the reserved peach syrup until you have a smooth slurry with no lumps. Pour this cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the peaches and the remaining syrup. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a glossy, syrupy consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from the heat and set aside. The aroma at this stage is already incredible!

Craft the French Toast Custard

Now, let’s get started on the French toast batter itself. In a shallow dish or pie plate, crack the 2 medium eggs. Add the 1 cup of whole milk and the 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the eggs. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. Whisk everything together vigorously until the eggs are well beaten and the mixture is smooth and uniform. You want to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved. This custard base is what will give our French toast that irresistible eggy, custardy richness. Make sure the dish you’re using is wide enough to comfortably dip your bread slices into.

Create the Biscuit Crum extractble Topping

This is where the magic rum extractthe crumble comes in! Take your 100g of digestive biscuits and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Gently crush them using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass until yrum extracthave coarse crumbs. You don’t want them to be a fine powder, a bit of texture is desirable. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits with the 1.5 tablespoons of soft dark brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Pour in the 60g of melted butter and mix everything together thoroughly with a fork or yourum extractingertips until the crumbs are evenly moistened and clump together slightly. This will form a delightful, slightly sweet, and spiced topping for our cobbler.

Assemble and Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 8×8 inches or a similar oval dish) with a little butter or cooking spray. Spoon the thickened peach mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the peach slices in a single layer, if possible. Next, take your thick slices of brioche, challah, or farm loaf bread and dip each slice into the prepared French toast custard. Ensure both sides of the bread are well coated, letting it soak for about 30 seconds per side. Carefully place the soaked bread slices on top of the peach layer in the baking dish, arrangin extractg them snugly. Don’t worry if there are small gaps; the cobbler will spread slightly. Evenlyrum extractrinkle the prepared biscuit crumble topping over the French toast slices, making sure to cover them completely.

Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the assembled dish into the preheated ovenrum extractake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the French toast is puffed up and cooked through. You’ll notice a wonderful aroma filling your kitchen as it bakes. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the dish with aluminum foil for the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Once baked, carefully remove the Easy Peach Cobbler French Toast from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the dish to set slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I use fresh peaches if they are not in season?

A: Absolutely! If fresh peaches aren’t readily available, you can definitely use frozen or canned peaches for your Easy Peach Cobbler French Toast. If using frozen, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid. If using canned, opt for those packed in juice or light syrup and drain them well before adding them to the cobbler topping.

Q: What kind of bread is best for this recipe?

A: While many types of bread will work, a slightly denser, eggy bread like challah or brioche is ideal for Easy Peach Cobbler French Toast. These breads hold their shape well when soaked in the egg mixture and toast up beautifully, providing a richer flavor and a more satisfying texture. Day-old bread also tends to absorb the custard better, so don’t be afraid to use bread that’s a day or two old.
