    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 1-pound package frozen unsweetened sliced peaches
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (do not use low-fat or nonfat)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 1/2-inch-thick slices egg bread
3 tablespoons butter
Maple syrup

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 300°F. Place baking sheet in oven. Combine peaches, brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, cinnamon and nutmeg in heavy medium saucepan. Cook compote over medium heat until liquid is reduced to medium-thick syrup, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Whisk eggs, milk and vanilla in large glass baking dish until well blended. Arrange bread slices in egg mixture. Let stand until egg mixture is absorbed, turning once, about 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 4 bread slices to skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet in oven. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 4 bread slices. Serve with peach compote and maple syrup.
