Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Fruit

  • 8 slices bread
  • 1 ½ cups fresh peach slices or canned peaches, drained

Custard Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed

Toppings

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish generously with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking and to add richness to the bake.
  2. Arrange Bread: Lay the bread slices evenly into the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping if necessary to cover the bottom completely.
  3. Add Peach Layer: Evenly spread the peach slices or drained canned peaches over the arranged bread, distributing the fruit so each serving will have plenty of peaches.
  4. Mix Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined and smooth, creating a flavorful custard mixture.
  5. Pour Custard Over Bread and Peaches: Pour the egg mixture carefully over the bread and peaches, ensuring the liquid soaks through and covers all pieces.
  6. Add Butter Dots: Dot the top of the custard-soaked bread and peaches with small pieces of butter to melt throughout the baking process, enriching the flavors and adding a golden finish.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the French toast cobbler is puffed, golden brown on top, and fully set in the center.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, serve topped with maple syrup or powdered sugar for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread if possible, as it absorbs the custard better without becoming too soggy.
  • Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but canned peaches drained well are a convenient alternative.
  • You can customize by adding a handful of chopped nuts or berries for extra texture.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free butter.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in a toaster oven or microwave.
