Peach French Toast
Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- 6 small slices of gluten free bread (cinnamon pecan)
Peaches Placed on Bread
- 3 whole eggs
- 3 egg whites
- 3/4 cup low fat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups sliced peaches, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Arrange the slices of bread 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.
Although, we did not top this with anything, yogurt or sour cream would be good with it.
Bottom line: I must have done something wrong with the recipe. I don’t think that gluten-free bread would make a difference, so I can’t blame that. I have no idea but the bread seemed soggy and the peaches were a separate entity, not connected to the bread, not physically but taste-wise. I enjoyed the peaches. I have a feeling, if made again, I would get it right but I doubt that I will do this. Check with the other CEiMB ladies to see how this worked for them. I am taking bets that you will find success.

I added a heap of cinnamon and nutmeg to this and really enjoyed it.
I like the idea of using the cinn bread. Sorry it didn’t work out for you.
Mine wasn’t that good, but I think it was baker’s error
The idea sounds wonderful. Too bad it didn’t turn out like you expected.
Peaches in French Toast? Love this idea. Sorry it didn’t turn out as planned!
I’m sorry it didn’t turn out like you wanted. It looks great though….I would totally take a slice
What a shame it didn’t turn out like you wanted. I eat gf brown rice bread and it seems very firm but can get soggy when I’ve used it in a recipe to absorb liquid. It seems to break down easier than breads using gluten rich flours.
As for our version, it was more like a bread pudding. I’m not a huge fan of french toast but when I eat it, I expect the outer layer to be crisper with a soft middle. The baked version is soft throughout. But… it was good. I used pears.
The bread you used sounds fantastic and perfect for french toast. Sorry it wasn’t a winner for you, but at least you gave it a shot.
When you said you used cinnamon pecan bread, I was sure that it would be a winner – that sounds delicious! I had a similar issue where it didn’t seem the two flavors of the peaches and toast went together well at all. Thanks for trying it though!
