How to Make Georgia French Toast
- In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens.
- Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
- Pour the brown sugar mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Arrange sliced fresh peaches (about 4 cups) evenly over the brown sugar mixture.
- Arrange 1 pound of challah bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices, over the peaches.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are moistened.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sprinkle the top of the casserole with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup (optional).
