- In the same skillet, add the sliced peaches, cooking them for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender and warmed through.
- Serve the French toast topped with warm peaches and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
If fresh peaches are not available, canned or frozen peaches can be used as an alternative; just make sure to adjust cooking time for frozen peaches.
Serve with whipped cream or additional toppings of your choice for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
