Peaches and Cream French Toast

One of my sweet Cookies asked for a French Toast recipe. Of course I had to give her a French Toast recipe. But, you already know it wasn’t gonna be plain, old French Toast. I decided to add on this sinfully delicious Caramelized Peaches and Cream topping! Breakfast will definitely feel like dessert came early with this one! Here’s how I make my Peaches and Cream French Toast…

The key ingredient…fresh, ripe peaches! I found these babies at the market. They were locally grown and I was sold! These things were huge too! One was more than enough for this recipe. But, if you’re not as blessed to find gigantic peaches, just double up on them. 

Let’s talk about the topping! I didn’t want it overly sweet. These peaches were a little on the tart side which worked perfectly! The brown sugar and slight sourness of the peaches balanced better than I expected. I used salted butter as well. You know why? Sweets need salt!

I’m sure you guys have figured me out by now. I love incorporating booze wherever I can in a recipe! Today, it’s rum! Man oh man! Caramelized peaches and rum?! Just do it. 

A Trudy line from one of my favorite movies, “Steel Magnolias, came to mind when I sampled this dish. As Trudy suggested, I added a little cream to cut the sweetness. She was referring to ice cream. But, I use some freshly whipped cream. 

This is definitely a daily breakfast item. But, it is the perfect, occasional brunch treat! Enjoy!!

Happy Cooking,
