Ingredient Notes

Here’s a quick look at what you’ll need to make the best french toast/peach cobbler hybrid!

  • Brioche Loaf – This is my favorite bread to make french toast with. It’s soft, but still sturdy enough to hold its shape when tossed in the egg mixture.
  • Half and Half – You’ll need this to make everything nice and creamy.
  • Eggs – Eggs are what binds a french toast bake together.
  • Vanilla Extract – If possible, try to use pure vanilla extract and not imitation.
  • Spices – Cinnamon and nutmeg create the best warm flavor to balance the sweet peaches.
  • Sliced Peaches – Try to only use fresh peaches if possible, not frozen or canned.
  • All Purpose Flour – When measuring flour, it’s best to spoon it into the measuring cup. If you dunk it into the bag, you end up packing it.
  • Brown Sugar – In a pinch, you can always make your own by combining 1 cup of white granulated sugar with 1 tbsp molasses.
  • Butter – I prefer using unsalted butter.

How to Make Peach Cobbler French Toast Bake

This peach french toast casserole couldn’t be easier to make! For a full breakdown of the step by step process, keep on scrolling down to the recipe card.

  1. Prepare the bread. Cute the brioche loaf into 1 inch cubes. Place them in a big mixing bowl.
  2. Make the egg mixture. Whisk together the half and half, eggs, vanilla and spices until combined.
  3. Make the french toast layer. Add the peaches to the bowl with the bread and give it a toss. Then, pour the egg mixture all over the bread cubes and toss it to combine. Be gentle! You don’t want to break up the bread. Spread this into a baking dish.
  4. Add streusel. Mix together the flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon with your fingers. When a crumbly paste forms, sprinkle it all over the french toast.
  5. Bake. Bake the french toast casserole at 350°F for 45-60 minutes. You’ll know it’s done baking once it’s puffed up and golden brown.

PRO TIP: Give this peach french toast bake a little something special by dusting it with powdered sugar right before serving!

Storing and Reheating

Wait until your leftovers fully cool to room temperature prior to storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, it should stay fresh for about 3-4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Or, pop the entire casserole in the oven and reheat just until warmed back up.
