Ingredients
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 (29 ounce) can sliced peaches, drained
- 12 (3/4 inch thick) slices day-old French bread
- 5 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, butter and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour the brown sugar mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish, and tilt the dish to cover the entire bottom. Place peaches in a layer over the sugar coating, then top with slices of French bread. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Slowly pour over the bread slices to coat evenly. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove the dish from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bread is golden brown. Spoon out portions to serve.

Reviews
Delicious! Used 2 cans of drained peaches no sugar added. Baked at 350 degrees fir 45 minutes. As reviewers suggested, I used 6 eggs and 1.5 cups of milk. I sprinkled the top liberally with cinnamon, but next time I will add 1 tsp of cinnamon to egg mixture. It was perfect sweetness and served with a dollop of whipped cream. I used a whole loaf of french bread crammed into the pan, but had about 3 slices leftover so cubed them and sprinkled them over the slices. As previoys reviewers suggested, I dipped the bread into the egg mixture before placing in pan. Will definitely make this again.
Super Yum!! You should try this.
Loved this! We had some fresh Georgia peaches that I needed to use so I decided to make this for the grandkids. It was so good I made it again a few days later! First time I only used 3 peaches, second time I used 6. 3 was plenty but 6 was “more better!” I served it with half and half but plain is good. Ice cream or whipped cream makes it a dessert! My husband thinks it tastes like a peach bread pudding, my daughter said she thought peach cobbler- either way a winner!
This was delicious!!
I followed the basics of this recipe in that I did NOT add milk as so many others did. I did half the recipe and used a little more than 2 cups of sliced fresh peaches. It was easy and fairly quick to put together the night before. Would have been quicker with canned peaches, but I had fresh I needed to use. A delicious French toast in a non-traditional flavor!
A must for the grandkids. They love it! So do the adults. Xoxo
Absolutely delicious!! Made as written, with no substitutions. Family loved it!! Definitely a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing.
I have been making this every year for my co-workers as a Christmas gift. I do a little more egg and milk. I also sprinkle nutmeg on top before refrigerating. This has been a BIG hit at work.
This is a family favorite! I usually serve it with a thick slice of ham – great sweet and salty combo. Make it at least once a month for breakfast or dinner.
Easy dish to do ahead. I used cinnamon bread instead of French bread but any kind will do . My adult company loved it. Teenage girls not so much. Would definitely make again since my granddaughters are not a good judge of food!
Had it at a brunch and immediately got the recipe but realized the recipe does not have milk as an ingredient. My batch was dry as could be, but will try it next time with a cup of milk. You need to change the recipe you have published
Made 3 pans for a brunch. Was gone in 2 hours! Used challah bread, 6 eggs and 1 1/2 cups of Half and Half.
Made this with fresh peaches from the farm stand. Wonderful…will make this again, and again.
My kids LOVED this. I made it using fresh peaches and homemade bread, added two eggs and a splash of milk after I realized it wasn’t enough egg for the amount of bread.
I made the recipe as stated but my family did not like. The under side of the French toast remained soggy which ruined it.
We thought it was really good and would make it again. Really easy to make.
Soggy mess. I won’t make this again.
Nothing redeeming about this recipe. No flavor, bland, dry …..!
I made it but was disappointed. I pictured it like a cinnamon roll but it was runny. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like had I used 1 1/2 c. of milk. It was good but it will not go in my recipe file.
I was not impressed with recipe for all the time required to make it. If I make again, I will not soak overnight and instead will just dredge bread in egg & vanilla and then brown in skillet and pour sugar mixture over it.
Very goods but sticky but still excellent
