The holiday season officially starts with the Toronto Santa Claus parade this weekend.  That means it is time to bring on the hot chocolate, extra blankets and plenty of comfort food!

Just thinking about comfort food  brings me back to my own childhood and my mom making piles of French toast for a special lunch smothered in maple syrup.  There is just something about French toast that just speaks to my soul.  Must be all those delicious eggs that go into it!

There is seriously nothing like fresh Canadian Grade A eggs.  They are filling, full of protein and essential nutrients and they are just plain old delicious. 

We can all feel good when cooking with Canada Grade A eggs knowing they come from Canadian farms known for their quality, & freshness.  Canadian egg farmers are proud of what they have to offer and that includes eggs farmed in a variety of ways to suit your lifestyle from conventional, enriched, free run, free range and organic.  It’s good to know though that no matter how the egg has been farmed, all variety of eggs in Canada come from hens that are not given hormones or steroids.

I was inspired by one of my most favourite comfort foods to share with you this peach French toast bake with almonds.  It’s an overnight french toast casserole, you might know this style of breakfast bake as a wife saver breakfast.  It’s perfect for Christmas morning brunch as a family since it can be assembled the night before and popped in the oven while everyone opens their gifts.  Who is kidding though?  It’s so delicious and filling you will find yourself making it year round!

I like to read the comments when I make a new recipe. Did anyone actually read all these comments? Majority of them are about how wonderful eggs are - not about the recipe! Sorry to sound negative... but I'm disappointed in all these fake comments - giving you the impression that many people have written a rave review about this recipe!

They aren't fake comments, Chris. There was a giveaway in the post when it first went live but thanks for the three star review without having actually tried the recipe. Passive aggressive much? ;)

I really like this recipe for Peach French Toast. I make French Toast on occasion but I have never used peaches. I know the peaches will add a lot of flavor. Thank you so much for this recipe. I intend to make it with whole milk as I have to be careful of our diets. I know it will taste delicious.

I love the versatility of eggs, aside from the obvious flavor ;) I try to make eggs in several different ways, since my little one isn't a fan, but there's certain ways that I can even win her over with some eggs lol. Egg clouds for instance are a huge winner with her!
