Stuffed french toast is a real weekend treat, for breakfast or brunch! Our french toast is filled with fresh juicy peaches that are cooked with a little brown sugar and cinnamon and then topped with toasted walnuts to add some delicious texture to every bite!

It’s peach season here in Ontario and I can’t tell you how incredibly happy that makes me, especially when I am cooking up my Peach Stuffed French Toast Recipe…Mmm!

You guys are going to go nuts for this one; with the fresh sweetness of the peaches and the crunch of the toasted walnuts…oh boy! I mean really, just looooook at these peaches!

For this recipe you will need: peaches, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, walnuts, eggs, milk, bread and powdered sugar (optional).

I get as giddy as a school girl as the month of August approaches where I am, not only do we have some of our apple varieties starting to ripen at the orchards, but we have pears, plums, cauliflower, corn and of course PEACHES ready to go from our local farmers!

There is honestly nothing better than fresh and local produce, the flavors and freshness make any dish spectacular!

Frequently asked questions

You may be afraid to try a stuffed french toast thinking it is too difficult for your cooking level, but I promise you that even a 10 year old could make this with supervision!

I have some common questions below for you to help you make it perfect every time. 

What kind of bread is best for French toast?

While brioche bread is considered the “classic” choice for french toast I personally prefer to use either a classic white bread or even challah.

You can really use any bread you prefer but just be sure to adjust your cooking time based on the thickness and density so it doesn’t burn.

Why is my French toast soggy?

There are a couple of reasons why this can happen:

• Your bread is sliced too thin, make sure to get an uncut loaf so you can cut the desired thickness at home, including your slot for stuffing (see pictures below).
• You soaked your bread too long in your egg mixture. This has to be a quick dip and flip, you don’t want to leave the bread in the bowl while you pour yourself a cup of coffee or it will be too wet and will not cook properly.
• Your pan is not hot enough! Make sure you get your pan ready to go ahead of the dipping process, in fact we leave ours on a medium low once the peach mixture has been removed to ensure it is evenly heated and then turn it to medium when we are ready to go.

Can I make blueberry stuffed French toast?

YES you can make any kind of stuffed french toast your tummy desires! Some other great options for stuffing your french toast are; strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, pears, apples, and even bananas.

You will want to adjust your brown sugar based on the fruit you choose to use and can even adjust your spices to include nutmeg or apple pie spice as well!

While there is not much you need to make stuffed french toast I do recommend that you have a wide and low dish for dipping the bread in the egg mixture.

Tips for stuffed French toast

• You can use any bread you prefer, my favorite two are Egg Bread (or Challah bread) and Fresh White Bread (from the bakery) See below for the thickness as well as the slot for stuffing the peaches

• 

• 

• You don’t need “ripe” peaches, in fact ones that are slightly under ripe are perfect for this dish!
• Use a slotted spoon when stuffing your bread so you can reserve more of the syrup for on top
• Make extra…TRUST ME! You will not have just 1 slice! This recipe is perfect for us as it is just the two of us…that is 2 pieces each!
