Apricot Cobbler French Toast

Ingredients

• Powdered sugar - For dusting
• Butter - 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Milk - 1 cup
• Eggs - 4
• Bread - 6 slices, preferably brioche or challah
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Sugar - 1/2 cup
• Apricots - 4 cups, pitted and sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a saucepan, combine the sliced apricots, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the apricots are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
3. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
5. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Transfer the cooked French toast slices to a baking dish. Spoon the apricot mixture over the top, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the French toast is cooked through and the apricot topping is bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!
