Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place baking sheet in oven. Combine peaches, brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, cinnamon and nutmeg in heavy saucepan. Cook compote over medium heat until liquid is reduced to medium-thick syrup, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

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

Melt 1/2 the butter in large nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Make the french toast. Transfer to the baking sheet in the oven.
