Description
Peaches and Cream French Toast Casserole is an overnight baked breakfast casserole with French bread, fresh peaches, creamy cinnamon custard, and a buttery pecan topping.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 3 large peaches, sliced
- 8 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3/4 cup cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
1. Slice the bread into 1-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into quarters.
2. Fit the bread chunks tightly into a deep 9×13-inch baking dish, layering them a couple of layers deep.
3. Layer the sliced peaches over the bread.
4. Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl.
5. Add the milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to the eggs and whisk to combine.
6. Carefully pour the cream mixture over the bread and peaches.
7. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight.
8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. Place the cold casserole in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
10. While the casserole bakes, stir together the brown sugar, chopped pecans, melted butter, and cinnamon for the topping.
11. Remove the casserole from the oven, uncover, and drizzle with the pecan topping.
12. Bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.
13. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Pack the bread fairly tightly in the baking dish so it absorbs the custard evenly.
This casserole is best assembled the night before baking.
Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra sliced peaches if desired.
