Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices bread
- 1 can sliced peaches (about 15 oz) or equivalent fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Streusel Topping
- 1/4 cup butter (cold and cut into small pieces)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth. This mixture will add flavor and help create the custardy texture when cooking the bread.
- Dip and cook the bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly but not become soggy. Place the dipped bread in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Warm the peaches: While the bread cooks, warm the sliced peaches in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally. If using canned peaches packed in syrup, you may want to drain slightly before warming to prevent excess liquid.
- Make the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the cold butter, flour, and sugar. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Assemble the toast: Place the cooked toast slices on plates. Top each slice liberally with warmed peaches. Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the peaches while still warm so it slightly softens but retains some crunch.
- Serve immediately: Serve the Peach Cobbler Toast warm for the best balance of crunchy, soft, and gooey textures, capturing the essence of traditional peach cobbler in a quick breakfast format.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh peaches when in season for a fresher flavor.
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better soaking without falling apart.
- The streusel topping can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to use.
- For an extra touch, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup over the top before serving.
- Gluten-free bread can be used to make this recipe gluten-free.
