Summer may be dictated by a certain day of the year, but to me its appearance is official when peaches crowd the farmer’s market stands. This brunch, therefore, marks the beginning of the sunshine season. While it may be officially called peaches and cream french toast, the combination of sweet peaches, nutty cashews, and fragrant cinnamon makes this breakfast-in-bed a peaches and dream.

What you’ll need:  

For the french toast:

• 4 slices sourdough bread

• 1/4 cup almond milk

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

1. Slice toast into thick, 1-inch pieces
2. Combine eggs with almond milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon
3. Soak each piece of toast in the egg batter, about 10 seconds each side
4. Add coconut oil to grill pan as it heats up
5. Place each slice of bread on pan, about 3-4 minutes for each side
6. Repeat for each slice of bread

For the peaches:

• 2 peaches, chopped
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of sea salt

1. Chop peaches into small, 1/4 inch cubes
2. Add coconut oil to saute pan
3. Combine peaches with vanilla, cinnamon, and sea salt
4. Continue to stir and mash until compote forms

For the cashew cream spread:
