Sweet Southern Peach French Toast

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

3 Tablespoons peach juice

One 29-ounce can sliced peaches

6 eggs

1-1/2 cups milk

1 Tablespoon vanilla

1 loaf French bread, sliced

Topping

1 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup butter

3 Tablespoons peach juice or maple sugar

Drain peaches and reserve syrup; set aside. In a saucepan, heat brown sugar and butter on medium-low heat until the butter is melted. Add juice and continue cooking until sauce becomes thick and foamy; pour into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Place peaches on top of cooled sauce and cover with slices of bread placed close together. Blend together eggs, milk, and vanilla until well mixed. Pour over bread. Combine topping ingredients and place over ingredients in pan. Cover pan and refrigerate overnight.

To bake, place in a 350-degree oven for 40 minutes. Loosely cover with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes if mixture is browning too quickly. Serve with warmed reserved peach syrup.

Serves: 12 to 14
