Peach French Toast Bake with Almonds

   This Peach French Toast Bake with Almonds is an overnight french toast casserole.  It’s an easy breakfast bake you might know as a wife saver breakfast – perfect for Christmas morning brunch!

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!
