How to Make Baked Peach French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray.
  3. Trim crusts from 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of challah or brioche bread and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
  4. Arrange bread cubes tightly in a single layer in the prepared pan.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until sugar is dissolved.
  6. Pour half of the egg mixture over the bread, using a large spoon to gently press the bread down to ensure it's fully coated.
  7. Peel and slice 3 medium peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  8. Arrange peach slices over the soaked bread, either in straight rows or concentric circles.
  9. Pour the remaining egg mixture evenly over the peaches.
  10. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  11. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the peaches.
  12. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
  13. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and set. If preparing the night before, skip to step 15.
  14. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking before serving.
  15. Gently heat 1 cup maple syrup until warm.
  16. Cut the casserole into servings and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
  17. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped pecans and serve immediately.
