Peaches and Cream Baked French Toast

Peaches and Cream Baked French Toast -- A Pinch of Joy

Peaches and Cream topped with struesel on top of a puffy custard French Toast — a winning combination of sweet, crunchy, creamy and downright delicious.  This  can be made ahead for a deliciously spectacular holiday breakfast.

Begin with a dense bread, such as French, Italian, sourdough or other artisan bread.  Cut bread slices in quarters and fit them snugly in an 8×8 inch pan.  Add pats of cream cheese to each piece and stack another layer of bread quarters on top.  Stir together the custard ingredients and pour evenly over the bread.  I used no sugar added sliced peaches and placed them tightly over the bread and custard.  Cover with plastic wrap, pop in the fridge.  Quickly mix butter, pecans, flour and brown sugar together and put the mixture into a zipper sandwich bag so it will be ready sprinkle over the french toast before baking.   Next morning pop the French Toast in the oven and bake about 40 minutes, until a table knife inserted in the middle comes out clean with no bits of custard clinging to it.  I like to change things up once in a while on weekends and this makes a wonderful (and rare!) lazy lunch.   Mix it up and let it set for a couple of hours, long enough before baking that the custard mixture is absorbed by the bread.

Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients

    Delicious peach cream bread recipe. When I initially saw your photo of this dessert, I thought it would go nicely having custard poured over it, and then I see custard has already been mixed in.
