This Peach Cobbler Baked French Toast combines the comforting flavors of classic peach cobbler with the rich texture of baked French toast. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch, it features layers of bread and juicy peaches soaked in a cinnamon-vanilla custard, baked to golden perfection and topped with buttery goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:

  • 8–10 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut, such as brioche or challah)
  • 2 cups fresh peach slices or canned peaches, drained

Custard Mixture:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

Toppings:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Maple syrup, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Bread: Layer the bread slices evenly in the prepared baking dish, making sure to cover the bottom completely but not overlapping too heavily.
  3. Add Peach Layers: Spread the fresh or canned peach slices evenly over the arranged bread, distributing them to cover the surface nicely.
  4. Mix Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Pour Custard Over Bread and Peaches: Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the bread and peaches, allowing the liquid to soak into the bread beneath.
  6. Dot with Butter: Scatter small pieces of unsalted butter across the top of the custard-soaked bread and peaches to add richness while baking.
  7. Bake Until Golden and Set: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the custard is set, the top is golden brown, and the edges are slightly crispy.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread like brioche, challah, or Texas toast for the best texture.
  • Fresh peaches are preferred when in season, but canned peaches work well and should be drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • Allow the custard mixture to soak into the bread for about 10 minutes before baking for extra custardy results.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a vegan butter alternative.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
