Yesterday I posted about hosting a day after Christmas brunch for my family and had a few of you ask for the recipe for my peach French toast casserole. It’s one of my very favorite breakfast dishes to make and is always a favorite! The cinnamon and sugar combined with the sweetness of the peaches and crunch of the French bread is just divine! Here’s what you need to know.

1. In a small saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter and water to a boil for one minute.

3. While brown sugar mixture is setting up, drain canned peaches and slice French bread into 12, one inch slices.
