From the Test Kitchen

Here, slices of sourdough bread soak in a mixture of cream, egg, and lemon zest, which gives them a deliciously warm, fluffy interior when toasted in the pan until golden brown. To top it all off, you'll make a quick peach compote by cooking the sweet fruit with lemon juice, butter, and caramel shards until softened and ready to spoon over the delicious toast.

Lemon French Toast with Peach Compote
Title
  • 4 slices Sourdough Pullman Bread

  • 1 Lemon
  • ½ cup Cream

  • 1 oz Salted Butter
  • ¼ cup Caramel Shards
  • 2 tsps Vanilla Powder
step-by-step
instructions
1 Prepare the batter & soak the bread

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lemon to get 1 teaspoon. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the cream (shaking the packet before opening), eggs, vanilla powder, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Working in batches if necessary, add the bread and let soak 2 to 3 minutes per side.

2 Make the peach compote

Halve, pit, and medium dice the peach. Halve the lemon crosswise; squeeze the juice into a bowl, straining out the seeds. In a small pot, combine the diced peach, lemon juice, caramel shards, half the butter, and 1/4 cup of water. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until the peach is softened and beginning to break down. Turn off the heat.

3 Make the French toast & serve your dish

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat the remaining butter on medium-high until melted. Working in batches if necessary, add the soaked bread to the pan. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Serve the French toast topped with the peach compote. Enjoy!
