Calories: 520kcal

Ingredients

French Toast:

• 1 loaf brioche or challah, thick-sliced (1–1.5”)
• 6 eggs
• 1½ cups half-and-half or milk
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• Pinch of salt
• Butter or oil for greasing the griddle

Peach Cobbler Topping:

• 3 –4 ripe peaches sliced thin (or use drained canned peaches)
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Splash of bourbon or lemon juice optional, but chef’s kiss

Cinnamon Butter:

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

Fire Up the Blackstone:

• Preheat your griddle to medium-low. Low and steady wins this flavor race.
• Make the Peach Cobbler Topping:
• Melt butter on one side of the griddle. Toss in sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Cook until peaches are soft and syrupy (6–8 minutes). Add a splash of bourbon or lemon juice for a little extra love. If it's cooking too fast, slide to a cooler zone or turn off the burner.

Prep the French Toast Custard:

• Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt in a shallow dish. Soak each slice of brioche for about 10 seconds per side.

Toast the French Toast:

• Grease the griddle with butter or oil. Cook each slice for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Move slices as needed if heat is uneven.

Make Cinnamon Butter:

• Mix butter, cinnamon, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl while everything’s sizzling.

Assemble Like a Brunch Boss:

• Stack up that golden brioche, smear with cinnamon butter, pile on the hot peach cobbler topping, and drizzle with warm maple syrup. Bonus points for crispy bacon or sausage on the side.

Notes

Tips for Success

• Brioche is King: Day-old brioche or challah holds up best in the custard.
• Control That Heat: Too hot and you’ll burn the outside before the custard cooks through.
• No Peaches? Sub in apples, nectarines, or even caramelized bananas.

❓ FAQ

• Can I use canned peaches?
  Yes! Just make sure they’re well-drained.
• Can I make this indoors?
  Yep. Use a cast iron skillet on your stovetop. Same rules apply.
• Can I make it ahead?
  Totally. Prep the cinnamon butter and peach topping a day before and reheat gently before assembling.

What makes this French Toast recipe different?

This recipe is inspired by Ludacris’s Chicken & Beer restaurant, but I put my own spin on it by taking it to the backyard and firing it up on the griddle. What makes this recipe shine on the Blackstone is how everything cooks at once. While the toast is sizzling, you’ve got the peaches softening and bacon crisping in the background. It’s all about that sweet-and-savory multitasking magic. Whether you’re cooking for the family or showing off for brunch guests, this dish is a total crowd-pleaser.

Note: This recipe is for indulgent weekends. But, if you want to tweak your Peach Cobbler French Toast to lighten it up, go for it. Sub in lower-fat dairy, use sugar-free syrup, or halve the butter. Or don’t. No judgment in this kitchen.
