Categories     Breakfast

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 CUP (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1/2 TSP vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, divided
6 large eggs
1/2 CUP whipping cream
2 TSPs (packed) golden brown sugar
1 1/2 TSPs vanilla extract
1 TSP ground cinnamon
1 1LB loaf brioche or egg bread, ends trimmed, cut crosswise into 12 slices
3/4 CUP apple butter
4 large peaches, halved, pitted, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices, divided
warm pure maple syrup
powdered sugar for sprinkling (optional)
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Place butter and vanilla extract in small bowl. Scrape in seeds from 1 vanilla bean piece. Whisk to blend. VANILLA BUTTER CAN BE MADE UP TO 1 WEEK AHEAD. Cover and refrigerate. Place eggs and next 4 ingredients in large bowl. Scrape in seeds from remaining vanilla bean piece. Whisk batter to blend. Place bread slices on work surface; spread with apple butter. Reserve 1/4 of peach slices for garnish. (If preparing the sandwiches ahead, slice 1 peach for garnish at the last minute to prevent browning.) Arrange remaining peach slices over 6 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices, apple butter side down. BATTER & SANDWICHES CAN BE PREPARED 2 HOURS AHEAD. Cover and chill batter. Cover sandwiches and let stand at room temperature. Melt 2 TBSPs vanilla butter in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Holding sandwiches together, submerge into batter. Transfer 3 sandwiches to each skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plates. Spread thin layer of remaining vanilla butter over each sandwich; cut in half diagonally. Drizzle with warm maple syrup. Scatter reserve peach slices over; sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with whipped cream if desired.
