Peachy Brioche French Toast

Peachy Brioche….more simply said…French Toast with fresh Peach Sauce!

Good morning my dear readers! I hope your week-end was a restful and peaceful one.

We are still getting morning rains and after our early morning church service, I prepared a yummy Peachy Brioche French Toast.

AND, although I didn’t need to add it….I popped some bacon in the oven too!  You can’t go wrong with anything bacon, can you? 🙂 

Great week-end breakfast…especially when the peaches are all over our farmers markets down here.

I love the smell of fresh peaches….but for some reason, I have those little fruit flies hovering about the peach basket, so the pretty little basket is sitting outside on the Lanai right now. 🙁

Oh well, I still won’t give up fresh fruits, regardless of a few little fruit  flies. 🙂

I did put some vinegar in a small cup and covered it with plastic wrap. I then poked holes in the wrap with a toothpick…. that tip came from an old “Helouise” helpful hint book I have stashed on my cookbook shelf! The idea is the vinegar attracts the gnats and they fly in the cup and can’t get out.

But I digress, lets talk peaches for breakfast.

This is an easy recipe…you can use canned peaches, frozen peaches or fresh peaches.  It just makes a week-end breakfast just a little more special.

I sprinkled powdered sugar over the peach sauce and then to make it just a bit more decadent….I added a sweetened cream cheese drizzle!  Yummy!

As always, The printable recipe is below. 

Now back to the subject of fruit flies.  

Do you my dear readers, have a way of getting rid of these pesky little gnats?  If so, I would love to hear from you!

Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup sugar
2. 3 tablespoons butter
3. 2 peaches, sliced (or chopped in chunks)
4. 6 large eggs
5. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
6. Four 1/2-inch thick slices brioche bread
7. 2 tablespoons butter
8. 1/4 cup sugar
9. 2 teaspoons cinnamon
10. Powdered Sugar to sprinkle over.....
11. Optional, but good....soften cream cheese and add a little milk to desired consistency and a small amount of sugar to use as a drizzle over the peach sauce.

Instructions

1. To prepare peaches, place the sugar, butter in a sauce pan mixing until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the peaches and cook for about 5 more minutes until the peaches are just heated through and tender and set aside.
2. Using a fork, beat the eggs in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and mix in the vanilla.
3. Place the slices of brioche bread in the eggs turning several times to thoroughly coat each piece.. Let stand for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are absorbed
4. Melt the butter in a heavy large griddle pan (I use a cast iron skillet) over medium heat.
5. Carefully add the brioche slices to the hot pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown on the outside and heated through.
6. Meanwhile, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small cup and sprinkle on each piece of french toast.
7. Place the French toast on serving plates and pour the peach sauce over the top.
8. At this point, you can get creative and add a dollop of whipped cream OR you can do as I did and drizzle cream cheese mixture over the top.

Notes

1. Yes, I know this recipe is a bit sweet...but it certainly tastes good.You can omit the powdered sugar and the cream cheese sauce but why would you want to? 😉
