This Peach Cobbler Baked French Toast is a deliciously comforting breakfast or brunch dish that combines the fruity sweetness of peaches with the warm, custardy goodness of baked French toast. Featuring layered bread and juicy peaches soaked in a flavorful egg mixture with cinnamon and vanilla, it bakes to golden perfection and is perfect served warm with syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 6–8 slices of bread (day-old or slightly stale works best)

Fruit

  • 2 cups fresh peach slices or canned peaches, drained

Custard Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Bread: Place the bread slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. Overlapping slightly is fine to fit the dish.
  3. Layer Peaches: Evenly layer the fresh or canned peach slices over the bread slices, distributing them so every bite has fruit.
  4. Make Custard Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Pour Mixture Over Bread and Peaches: Slowly pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and peaches in the baking dish, allowing the liquid to soak into the bread.
  6. Add Butter Topping: Dot the top of the mixture with small pieces of unsalted butter to add richness and help create a golden crust.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the French toast is set, the custard is cooked through, and the top is golden brown.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally, top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Day-old bread works best as it absorbs the custard better without becoming mushy.
  • Use fresh or canned peaches depending on availability; if canned, drain well to prevent sogginess.
  • For a richer custard, whole milk is preferred, but you can use any milk you have on hand.
  • You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before baking for extra texture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
  • Adjust cinnamon and brown sugar amounts to taste for more or less sweetness and spice.
