Peach French Toast Casserole is a perfect make-ahead breakfast for feeding a crowd. Soft, sweet brioche gets soaked in a rich egg custard made with eggs, milk, white and brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. It’s then topped with juicy peaches. Let it sit overnight, and in the morning, just pop it in the oven to bake.
I love being able to make this breakfast casserole the night before and then bake it the next morning, especially since I am more of a night owl than a morning person. It is also great if you have guests for breakfast. If you like breakfast for dinner you could make it in the morning and bake it that evening for dinner.

Ingredient Notes
brioche – brioche is a type of French bread that is light and airy with a little sweetness. It’s the perfect texture for this peach French toast recipe.
peaches – I mostly use drained canned peaches because they are available year round and I don’t have to wait for them to ripen. About 3 – 3 1/2 cups of fresh peaches can be used.
eggs – we use large eggs as the base for our custard.
milk – I like whole milk for this. You can mix half or so with heavy cream for a more decadent treat.
sugar – we use a mixture of half white sugar and half brown sugar. All of one type can be used.
cinnamon – ground cinnamon gives our overnight French toast bake warm flavors.
vanilla – this also gives or casserole warm flavors.
