Instructions

In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, sugar, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt until fully combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Dip each slice of brioche or challah bread, about 1-inch thick, into the egg mixture, soaking both sides well but without letting the bread become soggy.
Place the soaked slices in the hot skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked French toast to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil.
In a separate skillet, melt 1 teaspoon unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches, brown sugar, and fresh lemon juice.
Sauté the peaches for about 5 minutes, stirring gently, until they soften and release their juices but still hold their shape.
Spread the warm peaches evenly over the cooked French toast slices and serve immediately.

Tips

Use thick slices of brioche or challah for the best texture and flavor in French toast.
To intensify vanilla flavor, substitute pure vanilla extract with 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or scrape one vanilla bean into the custard.
