Peachy Dutch Oven French Toast
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 dozen eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread, sliced
- 1/2 pound butter
- 1 pound 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 for 45 minutes at about 350 degrees F (medium hot coals. Cooking time is shorter if the temperature is higher, but watch the edges so they don't burn).
- 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.
