Cinnamon French Toast with Peaches

August 26, 2016

When I was growing up and we went to Cape Cod for a majority of the summer, one of our favorite things to do was to go to Satucket Farms, a little fruit stand, and pick up a loaf of sweet, sticky cinnamon bread. We used to eat it by the loaf, toasted with butter, in french toast, or just plain right by the slice. It is the best bread - hand swirled with copious amounts of cinnamon in the middle and oozing with sticky cinnamon sugar at the bottom.

I hadn't had it in years so when my parents came to meet me in Rhode Island last weekend I was thrilled when they pulled a loaf of the bread out of the car for me to take back to New York. I snacked on it all week and then I could tell that it was beginning to go slightly stale, so I decided to turn it into French Toast. Tasting it again brought back memories of being at the beach, and although I was in my apartment in the middle of New York City, for a moment I was twelve years old again.

Cinnamon French Toast with Peaches

Slice bread into thick slices. In a small bowl, beat eggs, heavy cream and cinnamon until mixed.

In a skillet, heat butter until melted. Coat slices of bread in the egg and cream mixture until well saturated on either side. Let excess drip off and place slice of bread in the skillet. Cook on both sides until well brown.

Serve with maple syrup, fresh peaches, and a dollop of crème fraîche.

  • 1 loaf of cinnamon bread
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Hi! I'm Katherine and I live in Brooklyn. I love baking, trying new food, exploring, traveling, reading, and taking photos.

Happy 💞 Day! Hope everyone had some good chocolate today. ❤️🥰
Went to Mexico a couple weeks ago and ate a diet of 95% tacos and refreshing cocktails. 🌴🍹 Getting out of the Northeast when it was 6 degrees wasn’t bad either. 🤗 Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines and the seafood in Tulum was so fresh and flavorful. Next places in Mexico I want to visit: Mexico City and Oaxaca. #travel #mexico #tulum
Back on here after a nice looong break. 💆🏻‍♀️
In the past couple of months I felt zero urge to bake and it was nice to get away from it for a while to clear my head, relax, and not spend hours taking/editing photos. Moving forward I’ll be doing a little less baking, and more cooking and non-cooking photos, as I’m expanding my interests and also changing my diet (to involve wayyy fewer sweet things). 🌟
I still enjoy creating but I think it’s just starting to come through in different ways! This morning I was at the grocery store and I saw these beautiful artichokes, so I steamed them and made a tzatziki dipping sauce. It was SO simple and so good! 
I’m glad to be back taking some foodie pics. 😊 #f52grams
Better late than never! 🍪 The day of the #virtualcookieparty2018 is over soon and I ALMOST forgot to post my pic but here it is! This year I made brown sugar coconut macaroons, dipped in dark chocolate and topped with sprinkles (the more glitter the better). ✨ The recipe is really easy with just a few ingredients, and is on the blog now. Thanks @cosetteskitchen for hosting!
Giveaway! 🍹 This holiday season I’m looking forward to gift giving. There’s nothing better than festive holiday cocktails - one of my favorite winter drinks is a spicy margarita. I’ve partnered with @wandpdesign to give away a craft cocktail set pictured here. 🥂 To enter, leave a comment and tag a friend, and follow me @katherineinbrooklyn and @wandpdesign! Winner will be chosen 12/14 at noon EST - US entries only.
It’s #nationalcookieday so I had to post some pre-baked ones since I typically like the dough better than the finished cookie! 🍪 Hoping to make some more cookies this weekend. ✨✨
New recipe! It’s #yesyoucranberry. ✨✨ These cranberry cinnamon buns are super gooey and are on the blog now just in time for 🦃 day! #cinnamonbuns
Pink cake for getting through today. ✨ 
@patgmusic and I went to Wildair tonight for dinner! I’ve been dying to go there for years and am so glad we finally tried it. I’ll be dreaming of the oysters, bread, and olive oil forever. ✨✨✨
Feeling hopeful after the Midterm elections so I was motivated to post a recipe on the blog after almost a month of not posting. 😱 There’s work to be done but it’s a good reminder that it’s important to focus on the big issues in life, but also the little things that make you happy. And for me, the little things are doughnuts (and this food blog.) 🍩 So the recipe for these baked banana doughnuts is on the blog now. ✨
