Ingredients

Peach Filling

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

French Toast

  • 68 slices Peach Ice Cream Bread
  • 1/2 cup plain whipped cream cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for frying)

To Serve

  • Maple syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Additional fresh peach slices for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the peaches: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar and stir for about 30 seconds until it dissolves. Add the peeled and thinly sliced peaches and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 2 more minutes to create a luscious peach sauce. Transfer the peaches and sauce to a bowl and set aside.
  2. Prepare the sandwiches: Preheat your oven to 200°F to keep the French toast warm later. Lay out all the slices of peach ice cream bread on a cutting board. Spread a generous amount of whipped cream cheese on each slice. Using a fork, divide the caramelized peaches evenly among half of the bread slices. Reserve the sauce for serving. Top each peach-covered slice with another slice of bread, cream cheese side down, and gently press to form sandwiches.
  3. Soak in egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and cinnamon together until well combined. One sandwich at a time, soak each in the egg mixture for a few minutes on each side, allowing the bread to absorb the mixture fully.
  4. Cook the French toast: Melt 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the soaked sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked French toast sandwiches to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat this process with the remaining sandwiches, adding the last tablespoon of butter as needed.
  5. Serve: Plate the stuffed peach bread French toast while warm. Drizzle with the reserved caramelized peach sauce and maple syrup. Add whipped cream and extra fresh peach slices on the side for garnish and additional flavor. Enjoy your decadent brunch treat!

Notes

  • Peel the peaches carefully to avoid a bitter skin taste in the dish.
  • Use fresh peach ice cream bread for best flavor; substitute with any sweet, fruity bread if unavailable.
  • Make sure to soak the bread well in the egg mixture to ensure a moist and custardy interior.
  • Keep cooked French toast warm in a low oven to serve all at once.
  • Try garnishing with chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
