How to make it
- The French toast must be prepared the night before, then baked just before serving.
- Butter a 13x9x2 glass baking dish. (Note: for a 9x9x2 dish, use 2/3 of above ingredients.)
- First make caramel base, cooking brown sugar, butter and corn syrup until dissolved, stirring constantly. Pour into prepared baking dish and sprinkle chopped pecans evenly.
- Spread softened cream cheese over 8 of the bread slices. Cover with the other 8 slices to make sandwiches. Cut sandwiches into 1-inch cubes. Place in the prepared baking dish over caramel mixture.
- Mix the eggs, half and half, and vanilla until well blended. Pour evenly over the bread; press the bread down with a wide spatula until it soaks up the egg mixture. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake uncovered for 45 - 50 minutes in a 325 degree oven until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile (or night before), make the ginger peach sauce. Melt the butter in saucepan. Blend in maple syrup, ginger and cinnamon. Add peaches and cook slowly until peaches are soft.
- After removing french toast from oven, let sit 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, pouring the ginger peach sauce over the top
