Preparing the Peaches

Step 1: Drain and Thicken the Peaches

The first step to creating our Easy Peach Cobbler French Toast is to get those delicious peaches ready. Open your can of sliced peaches. You’ll want to drain the syrup from the can, but don’t discard it entirely! Reserve about ½ cup of this syrup. Now, in a small saucepan, combine the reserved peach syrup with the cornstarch. Whisk this together until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and there are no lumps. This is important to ensure a smooth, thick sauce later.

Step 2: Simmer the Peaches

Add the drained sliced peaches to the saucepan with the cornstarch mixture. Stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. You’ll notice the mixture will start to thicken as the cornstarch activates. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the peaches are heated through and the sauce has a lovely, syrupy consistency. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside. The aroma at this stage is already incredible!

Making the French Toast Batter and Biscuit Topping

Step 3: Craft the French Toast Batter

Now, let’s prepare the foundation for our French toast. In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together the 2 medium eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. Whisk vigorously until everything is well combined and slightly frothy. This is the custard that will soak into our thick bread slices, transforming them into a delightful French toast base. Ensure the sugar is dissolved for a smoother texture.

Assembling and Cooking

Step 5: Assemble and Cook the Cobbler French Toast

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (an 8×8 inch or similar size works well). Spoon the thickened peach mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Now, take your thick slices of bread and dip each side into the French toast batter, ensuring they are well coated but not soggy. Carefully arrange the soaked bread slices on top of the peach layer in the baking dish. Finally, gerum extractously sprinkle the prepared biscuit crumble mixture evenly over the top of the French toast slices, covering them completely.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and the French toast is cooked through and puffed up.
