Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for filling
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for filling
  • 1 cup sliced fresh peaches
  • 4 slices French bread thick cut
  • 4 large eggs for custard
  • 1/2 cup milk for custard
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for custard
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for custard
  • to taste diced peaches and maple syrup for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or fork to blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Wash and slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges. Set aside a few slices for garnish later.
  3. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on two slices of French bread. Top with sliced peaches and then place the remaining slices of bread on top to create sandwiches.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  5. Carefully dip each stuffed sandwich into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the bread to soak for a few moments to absorb the flavors.
  6. Preheat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or a non-stick spray. Place the soaked sandwiches on the griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  7. Once cooked, serve the Peaches and Cream Stuffed French Toast warm, topped with diced peaches, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, consider using low-fat cream cheese.
  • Fresh peaches are ideal, but frozen or canned peaches can be used in a pinch.
  • Ensure your French bread is thick-cut to hold the filling well.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture.
