Peaches & Cream French Toast

Peaches & Cream French Toast

1/2 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp. water
peaches, peeled and sliced (Can used canned as well.)
1 french bread or texas toast, cubed
8 oz. cream cheese, cut into small pieces
12 eggs
1 1/2 c. half-n-half
1 tsp. vanilla

Heat butter, sugar, and water in sauce pan until bubbly.  Pour into a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.  Scatter peach slices over caramel sauce.  Top with bread cubes then pieces of cream cheese.  Place eggs, half-n-half, and vanilla in blender; blend to combine.  Pour egg mixture over bread and cream cheese.  Cover & refrigerate at least an hour but preferably overnight.  Bake, uncovered, in 350 degree oven for 50 - 60 minutes.  Cut and serve warm.  If you tip it upside down on the dish when you serve it the caramel sauce runs down and coats it all like a syrup, but we also like to add buttermilk syrup to the top of ours!
