Preparing the Custard and Peaches

Step 1: Create the Custard Base

Begin extract by whisking together the eggs and whole milk in a shallow dish or pie plate. This dish should be wide enough to comfortably fit your bread slices. Add the vanilla extract and the first 2 tablespoons of caster sugar to the egg and milk mixture. This sugar will add a subtle sweetness to the bread as it soaks. Finally, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Give everything a good whisk until it’s well combined and slightly frothy. This is your custard base, which will transform the bread into a rich and decadent French toast.

Step 2: Prepare the Peach Topping

Open the can of sliced peaches and carefully drain the syrup into a small saucepan. Reserve the peaches themselves. To the saucepan with the reserved peach syrup, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. The cornstarch is our secret weapon for thickening the syrup into a delightful glaze. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring there are no lumps of cornstarch. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir for about 2-3 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened to a consistency that coats the back of a spoon. Be patient; it will thicken as it cools. Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and gently stir in the drained sliced peaches. Set this warm peach mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Add a tablespoon of butter or cooking oil if your pan isn’t perfectly non-stick. Once the skillet is hot, carefully lift the soaked bread slices from the custard and place them into the hot pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the French toast is golden brown and beautifully caramelized. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to steaming rather than browning.
