Why we love peach cobbler French toast

Fill your home with the scent of warm cinnamon and juicy peaches and enjoy a hearty breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Once you make this stuffed French toast recipe, you will not want to order it from a restaurant ever again!

What is Stuffed French Toast?

Stuffed French toast is an elevated version of one of the most popular breakfast meals. It is just like classic French toast but SO MUCH better.

The exterior of stuffed French toast is the same as the original; brown and caramelized from a custardy mixture of eggs, milk, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. However, the toast is filled with something yummy like sweetened mascarpone or cream cheese, fruit, or chocolate.

What is the best bread to use to make French Toast?

The best bread to use for stuffed French Toast is brioche bread. The bread you use should be thick, and slightly stale. This ensures that the bread absorbs the egg mixture and does not disintegrate or get soggy when cooked.

But if you consider both taste and texture, brioche bread is the best. Challah and French bread are great options too.

Ingredients for Peach Cobbler Stuffed French Toast

Brioche bread: This bread is naturally fluffy and buttery which makes it perfect for the task at hand!
Mascarpone cheese: I used this instead of cream cheese because it has a milder flavor and is creamier. Make sure this rich cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
Peach Cobbler Filling: I took my favorite part of one of the yummiest desserts and placed it on top of my French toast! This filling turned topping is warm, gooey, and SO addicting! Peach cobbler filling is a delicious combination of frozen peaches, unsalted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of salt.

How to Make Stuffed French Toast

Begin by slicing the brioche bread loaf into one-inch thick slices. Once sliced, use a small knife to cut a slit right in the top, middle of each one-inch slice. Do not cut all the way through the bread, just about 2 inches or so to form a hole.

Mascarpone Filling

Set the bread slices aside and begin on the filling. In a large mixing bowl add the room temperature cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.

Use a large spoon or a hand mixer to fully combine the ingredients. The mixture should be smooth and creamy when it is all combined.

Peach Cobbler Topping

Place the mixture to the side then prepare the peach cobbler topping. Warm a medium saucepan over medium heat. Place the stick of butter into the pan so that it can melt.

Add the frozen peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, squeeze of lemon, and pinch of salt directly into the pan.

Stir this all up until the peaches are mixed in with the butter and seasonings. Let the mixture simmer over medium while you build the French toast.

Be sure to stir the mixture every two to three minutes so that it does not burn. Add the water as needed if the mixture gets too thick. You want a "syrup like" consistency when it is done.

Filling the Stuffed French Toast

Add the cheese mixture to a piping bag, or large Ziploc bag with a slit in the corner. Pipe about two tablespoons of the cheese mixture directly into the hole that you created on the top of the brioche bread.

Continue this process until all of the bread slices are stuffed with the cheese mixture.

Egg Custard

Next, start on the custard to coat our French toast. Add the eggs, milk, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into a flat bowl and whisk until combined.

Cooking the Peach Cobbler Stuffed French Toast

Warm a flat skillet over medium heat on the stove. Spray with non-stick spray if desired. Place a piece of the stuffed French toast directly into the egg mixture, flip it over to coat each side evenly. Place the coated French toast directly onto the hot skillet. Cook on each side for one to two minutes.

Be sure to coat the toast, and place it directly into the skillet. Do not let it set in the egg mixture, or set with the egg mixture on it- as this will create soggy French toast. Repeat this process for each slice.
