Servings

Several

Good For:

Breakfast

Ingredients
  • 1 dozen eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread, sliced
  • ½ lb butter or margarine
  • 1 lb brown sugar
  • 3 (16 ounce) cans peaches, drained and quartered

 Instructions

Heat a large Dutch oven by covering it with coals for 15 minutes.

Beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.

Slice the bread and let it soak in the egg mixture.

Remove preheated oven from coals and melt butter in the bottom.

Add brown sugar and mix well with butter until caramelized.

Put the drained peaches over the caramelized sugar.

Place the egg/bread mixture on top of the peaches, cover with lid and return the Dutch oven to the coals.

Bake 45 minutes at about 350° (17 coals on top; 8 on bottom). For the first 10 minutes, use coals only on the bottom. Then add coals to the oven top and continue baking until done.

With the caramel topping, you probably won’t even need syrup.
