For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the egg mixture. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds would also work well. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
Generously spread softened cream cheese on one side of each bread slice. Arrange the bread slices in two rows in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, overlapping slightly. (10 minutes)
02
Step
15 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, reserved peach syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gently pour this mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring they are well saturated. Arrange the drained peach slices artfully on top of the bread. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the peaches. (15 minutes)
03
Step
8 hrs
Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard. (2 hours - 8 hours)
04
Step
10 mins
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the bread mixture. Lightly sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar over the pecans. (5 minutes)
06
Step
50 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. (50 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
Let the French toast bake cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of orange zest, if desired. (5 minutes)
