Peach French Toast

Hey Amanda...we all love this one so much! It's more like a dessert than a breakfast almost! Enjoy.

1 C brown sugar 1 stick butter cut into pieces
2 Tbsp water 1 large can sliced peaches or equiv of fresh peaches
1 loaf fresh french bread, sliced 1" thick 5 eggs
cinnamon & sugar 1 1/2 C milk
1 Tbsp vanilla

In saucepan melt 1 c brown sugar in butter. When butter melts add 2 Tbsp water. Return to burner & stir like crazy until mixture foams. Then pour into 9 x 13 baking dish. Let cool 10 minutes then line dish w/peaches, then layer of french bread, then remaining 1/2 peaches. In blender, blend eggs, milk & vanilla. Pour over bread & peaches making sure all pieces are covered. Sprinkle w/cinnamon & sugar. Cover & refrigerate over night. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour until golden. Use pan syrup & whip cream if desired.

I don't think you can have this w/out the vanilla syrup recipe, so in case you don't have it...here it is.

Vanilla Syrup

2 cubes butter 2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk

Boil for 1 minute. Add 1 Tbsp vanilla & 1 tsp. baking soda.
You want to do it in a large pot because it rises & foams.
