Peaches & Cream French Toast Bake

Peaches and Cream Overnight French Toast. We used canned peaches and it turned out fabulous!!!

Overnight French Toast is always on my radar for a Christmas morning feast. What I love most is that you can do the bulk of the work the night before, leaving just the simple task of popping it into the oven for the morning, so you can enjoy the most important part of the day: watch the kiddos unload their stockings and tear into their presents!

But, if you know anything about California, you know peaches are not in season right now, right? How on earth did we find peaches for our Christmas French Toast?

Enter California canned peaches to save the day!  

These peaches are so tender and perfect for curbing that sweet craving in the dead of winter.  

 

 

No, really… they are super sweet and hold up beautifully while baking. I opted to use peaches in 100% juice as opposed to syrup, but feel free to use either version. Just make sure to thoroughly drain them before adding them to the top of the bread mixture.   

Are you ready to get started?

Butter a 13×9 pan. I used a ceramic dish, but you can use a glass pan or even a metal one if that’s all you have. Add in the torn pieces of bread. We used a french loaf along with croissants…don’t skip that part. The croissants add a great texture!
