This Peach French Toast Casserole can be made with fresh or frozen peaches, so you can enjoy it any time of the year! This French toast is not too sweet, letting the flavors of the peaches really shine. Serve with maple syrup to add just the right amount of sweetness for your taste!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter or spray an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish.
Layer the bottom of the dish with half of the bread cubes (3 cups).
Scatter half of the sliced peaches (1 cup) over the bread cubes.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining half of the bread cubes and peaches.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Pour the egg/milk mixture over the bread cubes and peaches. Gently stir the mixture so the bread soaks up the liquid, but try not to break the bread.
Bake for 1 hour, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and set in the center, with no liquid remaining in the bottom of the dish. If the top of the bread is getting too brown but there is still liquid remaining, carefully cover the baking pan with foil and continue baking.
Slice into 6 pieces and serve hot with maple syrup and your favorite toppings.
