Peach French toast is bursting with fresh flavor. Top it with a homemade maple Bourbon syrup for out of this world taste.

In a small saucepan set over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla.
1 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Warm through and transfer to a serving dish.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
3 large eggs, ½ cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Before adding in the bread, make sure the bottom of the pan is fully coated.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture and place in the skillet. Make sure not to crowd the pan-- I usually only cook 1-2 slices at a time.
8 slices white bread
Cook for about 2 minutes per side or until each side is golden brown.
Repeat the process for each piece of bread, adding another tablespoon of butter to the pan as needed.
Serve the french toast immediately and top with sliced peaches, melted butter, a dusting of powdered sugar, and bourbon maple syrup.
Powdered sugar, Melted butter, 2 peaches

Make sure you only cook 1-2 slices of toast at a time so you do not overcrowd your skillet.
Make sure to keep the skillet buttered, usually every couple of slices, to keep the toast from sticking.
Serve the French toast immediately after cooking, unless you are keeping them warm in the oven.
You can keep the slices of french toast warm in a 250°F oven for up to 30 minutes before serving.
I don’t like to cook my peaches before serving (I like the crunch of the skin), but if you prefer your peaches a bit softer, you can cook them with a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of brown sugar for 2-3 minutes before serving.
