What is overnight French toast?

Overnight French toast is versatile, easy, and a great way to feed a hot breakfast to a crowd. You can make them savory or sweet, and you can make them the night before and bake them when you are ready in the morning.

The French toast part is made from thick slices of bread soaked in an eggy batter. And the overnight part is the fact that the casserole needs to stand for at least 8 hours before baking. This particular overnight peach French toast casserole is studded with juicy peaches and a sugary cinnamon topping. 

Ingredients

• Bread: Use thick slices of French bread for the best texture.
• Egg Whites: Form the base of the custard. You can use a container of egg whites, or separate the whites yourself from 8 large eggs.
• Milk: You can use skim milk or almond milk.
• Vanilla Extract: Homemade vanilla extract adds a warm, vanilla flavor.
• Peaches: I recommend using sliced jarred peaches, with no added sugar. Fresh and frozen peaches won’t work quite as well.
• Dark Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness.
• Cinnamon: Adds warmth.
• Heavy Cream: Forms the base of the sauce.
• Whipped Topping: Optional but this is a great way to finish off the peach french toast for serving!

How to Make Overnight French Toast

You can jump to the recipe card for full ingredients & instructions!

1. Make a flat layer of bread slices in the baking pan.
2. Whisk liquid ingredients and pour over the bread.
3. Top with peaches and sprinkle on the topping.
4. Cover and chill overnight in the refrigerator (at least 8 hours).
5. In the morning, set the french toast casserole out on the counter while preheating the oven.
6. Bake until cooked through, then serve and enjoy!

Can I freeze it?

Yes! This make-ahead french toast bake is also freezer-friendly. It’s a great dish for holidays and if you are going to be elbow-deep in other tasks, you can make it days in advance.

Prepare the entire casserole as instructed, bake it, and then freeze it. Make sure it’s tightly wrapped in aluminum foil (two layers).

Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it in the oven just before serving.

Can I use fresh or frozen peaches?

Fresh or frozen peaches aren’t the best choice for overnight french toast. Canned or jarred peaches have already been cooked, so they’re much softer and won’t turn brown when they are chilled overnight. So for this peach french toast recipe, I recommend sticking with the jarred kind.

This overnight french toast recipe is just so easy and convenient. And topped off with peaches and cream, it’s incredibly delicious!

Becky’s Tips

• Be sure to spray the baking dish with nonstick spray before you start.
• When layering in the bread, you want as little space as possible between pieces.
• Cover the dish with a tightly fitting lid, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil before refrigerating it.
• Let the casserole come to room temperature while you preheat the oven. It’s best if it’s not super cold when it goes in.
• Bake french toast uncovered. If it starts to get too brown, you can cover it for the last few minutes.
• You can use peaches in water or syrup. Just make sure they are drained fully. Fresh peaches won’t work in this recipe because they require more time to bake and soften.
• You can use homemade or store-bought whipped cream.

Storage: Store overnight french toast in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a 350°F oven until hot.
