Ingredients:

2 medium eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons caster sugar
1 can sliced peaches in syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons caster sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
100g (about 6) digestive biscuits
60g melted butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1.5 tablespoons soft dark brown sugar

Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Preparing the Peaches

Ingredients:

1 can sliced peaches in syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons caster sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions:

Begin extract by preparing your delicious peach topping. Open the can of sliced peaches and carefully drain most of the syrup into a small saucepan. Reserve a few tablespoons of the syrup for later if you like a saucier consistency, but drain the majority to avoid making your cobbler too wet.
Add the drained peach slices to the saucepan with the reserved syrup. Stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. This will enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches and add that classic warm spice flavor we all love.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with about 2 tablespoons of the reserved peach syrup (or a little cold water if you didn’t reserve much syrup). Make sure there are no lumps. This slurry will act as a thickener for your peach mixture.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan with the peaches. Stir continuously over medium heat. You’ll notice the mixture will start to thicken quite quickly as the cornstarch cooks. Keep stirring until it reaches a nice, syrupy consistency, coating the peaches beautifully. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside. The aroma at this stage is already incredible!

2 thick slices brioche, challah, or farm loaf bread
2 medium eggs
1 cup whole milk

2 tablespoons caster sugar
100g (about 6) digestive biscuits

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1.5 tablespoons soft dark brown sugar

Now it’s time to create the French toast base. In a shallow dish or pie plate, whisk together 2 medium eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar.

Add the melted butter (60g), 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1.5 tablespoons of soft drum extract brown sugar to the crumbled digestive biscuits. Mix everythingrum extractgether thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter and sugar. This mixture will form a delicious streusel topping.
Dip each slice of thick bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. You want the bread to absorb the liquid but not become too soggy, especially if using a very soft bread like brioche. Ensure both sides are well coated.
Carefully place the soaked bread slices into a greased baking dish or an oven-safe skillet. Spoon the thickened peach mixture evenly over the top of the French toast slices. Don’t be afraid to get plenty of those luscious peaches and syrup onto the bread.
Generously sprinkle the digestive biscuit streusel mixture over the peaches. Ensure an even layer for a wonderfully crispy and sweet topping.
