Method

  1. Start by peeling the peaches, removing the pits, and slicing them into a heavy saucepan. Make sure to catch all the juices.

  2. Stir in the sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon into the saucepan with the peaches. Cook the mixture over medium heat until it becomes bubbly.

  3. Continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a syrupy consistency. This should take about 10 minutes. Once done, remove the saucepan from heat.

  4. While the peach sauce is cooking, discard the ends of the bolillo rolls and slice them into 1 1/4-inch-thick slices. Lay each slice on a board.

  5. With a sharp knife held parallel to the board, cut a pocket into each slice of bread, leaving three sides intact. Set the slices aside.

  6. In a separate bowl, mix together the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, and lemon zest until smooth. Transfer the mixture into a small plastic bag.

  7. Cut off one corner of the plastic bag and use it to pipe the filling into the pocket of each bread slice. Fill them without overflowing.

  8. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla.

  9. Melt butter with oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet.

  10. Dip each stuffed bread slice into the batter and add it to the skillet. Cook until both sides are browned.

  11. Serve

About this recipe

Are you ready to take your breakfast game to the next level? Look no further than this indulgent and flavorful Mascarpone Stuffed French Toast with Peaches. Picture this: thick slices of bread, generously filled with creamy mascarpone cheese, and topped with sweet and juicy peaches. It's a breakfast dream come true!

Why Mascarpone?

If you've never tried mascarpone cheese before, you're in for a treat. This Italian cream cheese is rich, velvety, and slightly sweet, making it the perfect filling for French toast. It adds a luxurious texture and a delightful creaminess that takes this breakfast dish to a whole new level.

The French Toast

French toast, also known as eggy bread, is a classic breakfast dish that never fails to impress. It's made by dipping bread slices into a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and a touch of sweetness. The bread is then cooked until golden and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and custardy on the inside.

For this Mascarpone Stuffed French Toast, you'll want to use a thick and sturdy bread, like brioche or challah. These types of bread hold up well to the filling and soaking process, resulting in a perfectly decadent breakfast treat.

Stuffed with Goodness

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the mascarpone filling. To make the filling, simply mix mascarpone cheese with a touch of sweetness, such as honey or powdered sugar. The creamy and slightly sweet filling adds a burst of flavor to every bite, complementing the rich and eggy French toast perfectly.

An Extra Touch: Peaches

But why stop there? To take this dish to the next level, add some fresh peaches on top. The sweet and juicy peaches not only add a pop of color but also provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the mascarpone and French toast. It's a match made in breakfast heaven!
