Ingredients

For the Honey Butter Toasts:

  • 1 Loaf Challah Bread
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

For the Sautéed Peaches:

  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Peaches Cut Into Wedges
  • ½ Vanilla bean
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • ¼ cup Water
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon
  • Pinch of Salt

For the Brown Sugar Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

For the Honey Butter Toasts:

  • Cut off the crust on all sides of the challah so that you have a rectangular loaf. Cut the loaf into 6 even slices. Place the slices onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the unsalted butter, brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Spread this mixture onto all sides of each slice of challah so that they are fully coated. Bake it in the oven for about 20 minutes, making sure to flip the slices over halfway through baking. When the toasts are done, transfer them onto a wire rack to slightly cool.

For the Sautéed Peaches:

  • Heat a pan over medium hight heat. Add in the unsalted butter and olive oil. When the butter has melted, add in the peaches. Split the vanilla bean down the center with a knife. Use the back of the knife to run down the slit to scrape out the vanilla bean seeds. Add it into the pan along with the vanilla bean pod.
  • Pour in the maple syrup, water, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix and bring the mixture to a bubble. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for about 5 minutes until the peaches have slightly softened and the juices thicken. Set aside.

For the Brown Sugar Whipped Cream:

  • Add the heavy cream, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on high speed until you get soft peaks of whipped cream.
  • To serve, add a spoonful of the brown sugar whipped cream onto each honey butter toast. Top with some of the sautéed peaches. Spoon any extra sauce from the peaches on top. Enjoy!
