Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 large whole-wheat baguette (about 8 ounces)
4 whole eggs
4 egg whites
1 cup low fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups sliced peaches, fresh or frozen
1/2 lemon, juiced about 1 1/2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch slices and arrange the slices in a single layer in the baking pan. Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture over the bread in the pan. In a medium bowl, toss peaches with the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar. Scatter the peach slices evenly on top of the bread. Combine the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover and bake for 40 minutes.

Serving suggestion: Top with a dollop of vanilla yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup and a side of Canadian bacon.

Really Yummy and Kept 'em Going
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm always looking for a breakfast that will keep my children going in the morning and this sure did. The question, "may I... have a snack" or " mom I'm starving" usually happens 45 min to an hour after a bowl of cereal on a Saturday morning, so we don't eat a lot of cereal anymore. I used a heavy whole grain bread and sliced it myself then followed the directions exactly...something I usually don't do and I have to say this was such a great way to start the day. The yogurt on top gave it an extra richness and the maple syrup made it nice and sweet. I even served C-bacon on the side! I'm going to make a big pan for Thanksgiving when the entire family is around. My kids also love it and they are 7 and 10.Read more

Pretty Good
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

It was good but not by any means amazing. I don't think I will make again with so many other recipes to try.

Friend and Family Favorite
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My friends and family love this recipe. The first time I made it, I thought it was good but a little bland, but my friends... loved it. I made it for my dad for Father's day and he loved it- I still thought something was missing, so when I made it for Christmas morning brunch I sprinkled the bread with Apple Pie Spice before pouring the egg mixture in. I also added a little bit of the Apple Pie Spice into the brown sugar & cinnamon mixture too and that seemed to do the trick. I also added a little extra vanilla, as mentioned in some of the reviews. When I'm not able to get fresh peaches, I have also substituted Peach Pie Filling, which worked great too. When I used the pie filling, I didn't put it on top overnight, I waited until I was ready to bake the casserole. Its a really easy recipe for someone who is domestically challenged like myself, I would definitely recommend!Read more

Followed the recipe exactly
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed this recipe exactly and it was terrible. I LOVE french toast. This was not french toast, didn't even taste... anything like french toast. It was mushy beyond recognition and the peaches didn't even help. I ended up having to throw it out because I couldn't even bribe people to eat it. I really wanted to like this recipe but I couldn't talk myself into trying it again.Read more

HORRIBLE
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I read all of the reviews and they were so mixed I decided that I had to try this for myself. I followed the recipe exactly.... I even measured the thickness of my bread slices. I did take some advice and added a tiny bit more vanilla. I got up on Sunday morning and put this in to bake. When 40 minutes passed, I could see it was still very goopey. I continued to bake it until it look set, approx 1 hr total. It wasn't set. There was nothing crispy about it. It tasted like bread mush with raw egg. The flavor was bland and nothing at all like french toast. I even tried the syrup but it would have been better to pour the syrup in a glass and drink it. I hated that I had wasted my time and my money on the ingredients. Either something has been left out of the instructions or it is meant to be a horrible joke on the public. I love Ellie but this was truely awful.Read more

very nice and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was really good, it was even better the second day with maple syrup on it. I put too much bread in the first time,... won't do that again, but even then it was good. My family loved this and will make it againRead more
