I’m definitely ready for fresh peach dishes. I just made some fresh peach lemonade yesterday. Swoon. They rock the summer for sure.
This looks like perfect way to start a summer day!
You should totally buy a B & B and then parlay that into your blog, like the B & B blog where guests get to eat everything you blog. It would be awesome! Especially if there’s more of this. I love this!
I always love making overnight French toast! It’s such a hands-off way of enjoying one of life’s greatest pleasures. :) One can just sip on coffee while the bake does time in the oven, then voile! Brunch is served. Thanks for a great recipe!
This looks insanely delicious!! Peaches are one of my favorite flavors, so it’s nice to have ideas to do with them other than shoving them into my mouth :)
Oh yummy!! This looks really good!! I’m glad y’all had fun last weekend! I did to,remember me telling you about the pig roast we were invited to well we did go and it was alot of fun!! Food, (pig of course) fun,fireworks!! And it didn’t rain!! Thank you Jesus!! I prayed about it!
I hear ya girl. If I could save up a bit more money, I’d get a place along the Cape, too! Also, several splashes of bourbon are always welcome in baked treats around my house. Love this french toast!
This is the second time I’ve seen an overnight breakfast item on your blog since I’ve started becoming a reader, and each time i’m like “i have to try doing that!!”. so i’m going to this weekend :)
I’m excited to try your recipe but also have to tell you that I live on Cape Cod and there is a beautiful B&B in Sandwich, MA right across from the Glass Museum. (Lots of tourists!) I think it is listed by Sotheby if you want to check it out.
We both absolutely loved our trip to Cape Cod two summers ago, and I have been wanting to go back! Thanks for the tip. Hope that you enjoy the French toast!
I tried this recipe yesterday for a brunch and it was amazing. Other peach french toast recipes that I’ve tried have been so cloyingly sweet that you feel like you’re eating straight sugar and I was hoping to find one that was naturally sweet. This recipe perfectly fit the bill. The natural sweetness of the peaches really came through and was delicious with fresh whipped cream on top. This is my go-to peach french toast recipe now…thanks for sharing! :)
Ps. I needed about 3 1/2-4 cups of peaches for the top (I wanted it to be completely covered with them) and ended up supplementing with ripe unpeeled peaches I hadn’t boiled first. Still tasted great!!
Amy, I’m so happy to hear that this recipe hit the spot for you, and that you didn’t find it overly sweet. I too like to let the flavor of the peaches shine. Thanks so much for letting me know about the peach amount too. Really, you can’t have enough!
Hi Korylea, I haven’t tried this with frozen peaches, so you’d be experimenting. Frozen fruit is often way more liquidy than fresh once it thaws, so if you’d like to give it a try, I would suggest fully thawing frozen peach slices, then draining them and blotting them with a paper towel to get them as dry as possible before adding them on top of the casserole. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Thank you Erin. It worked perfectly by treating the frozen peaches this way. Also, I eliminated the brown sugar, and instead drizzled maple syrup over the top while it was still hot. It was a hit! I will definitely be making this dish again!
? Delicious & easy ! I had a LARGE baguette to use up and lots of half & half so I did not make the “lighter” version this time.
Also substituted (local Farmers Market) sweet NECTARINES for peaches. I left the skin on them. Some were diced and scattered throughout my double layer of bread. I will use bourbon next time… when the little ones won’t be indulging in this amazing breakfast/brunch treat. Really a crowd pleaser! Thanks ?
Erin,
I am so looking forward to trying this recipe when the peaches come in here in Texas. I would like to bake and freeze it as you mentioned you did for your guests. My question is did you still let it soak overnight before you baked it or would letting it soak for an hour or so before baking be sufficient?
Hi Alice! Since you’ll want to bake it all the way through before freezing it, I’d recommend letting it soak as close to 8 hours as possible. Even 4 or 6 will be better than 1 or 2 to make sure the bread has time to fully absorb the liquid. I hope this helps and that you enjoy the recipe!
Hi….so is the 8 oz of bread correct for this recipe serving 6? You show 15 slices in your photo but when I weigh out 8 oz it is less than a half load and only about 8 slices

I love this, Erin! Especially the overnight part….and the peaches….oh, and the FRENCH TOAST part!!!
Oh gosh. hit me with ALL the peach recipes! This french toast looks totally insane and the easiest summer brunch!

Gooey, sweet, delicious peaches and french toast sound like a dream! Delish :)
I can’t wait to try this!!!
So refreshing to see a baked French toast that uses some restraint in the amount of sugar! Just what I’ve been looking for!

Looks delish! Unfortunately peaches are not in season now, any alterations for using frozen peaches?

I’m so glad to hear that, Korylea! Thanks so much for reporting back!
Can I substitute coconut milk and coconut cream for the milk and evaporated milk?
Hi Caitlin, yes, you can substitute regular coconut milk (or even light coconut milk) for all, depending on how decadent you’d like it to be!
