Peach French Toast Bake

"From the Food Network website, recipe by Ellie Krieger. I used a whole grain breakfast bread with nuts and dried fruit and it was wonderful in here. I just made sure to weigh it out. I used nectarines as this is what is in season right now and readily available at the farmer's marker. I think any stone fruit would work. Also, my baking dish is smaller than 9x13, and it took twice as long to cook because it was so thick. It turned out delicious! Serve with maple or fruit syrup."

  1. This was okay, but I agree wit a previous reviewer that the egg mixture needed more flavor - cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and a pinch of salt. It was fine, but not outstanding. Thanks for sharing, though - helped us use up some very ripe peaches. (With almond milk, it's 6 WW PPV per serving. With skim, it's 7.)
     
  2. This was very good (and made the apartment smell fanstatic as it baked-- and it was easy enough to make after dinner the night before and pop in the oven to cook while I was getting ready for work this morning!) We used nectarines and I didn't bother to skin them--tasted great. I also used almond milk instead of regular with good results. Next time I make this I will add some spices to the egg mixture though, as it was kind of bland if you didn't get a bit of fruit in every bite; maybe a teaspoon of cinnamon or chinese five spice. Otherwise, it was a great recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live with my hubby and three feline children in Oakland by Lake Merritt. <br /> <br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars if the recipe works without having to make changes (my own subs just for personal preference do not count) <br />*New Rule: If hubby says "mmmm" or "this is good" without me asking if he likes it, it automatically gets five stars <br />4 stars if the recipe needs a minimal amount of changing because the recipe does not work the way it was written or if overall it just didn't WOW me. <br />3 stars and below if the recipe just does not work or if the instructions are not written clearly enough to make it. <br /> <br />Please know that I will change your recipe to fit my diet. I mean no disrespect, but since I have to diet I have to do it. I refuse to limit myself to recipes that already fit my diet and like the challenge of changing already existing recipes to be healthier. I will leave out the oil, leave out or replace the cheese and milk with a non-dairy alternative, and use whole grains. I will also leave out meat and broth and choose vegetarian, low sodium versions/alternatives. I still rate recipes that I make these changes to. <br /> <br />But, if I use a recipe as inspiration only- meaning I got a great idea from it but changed it all around- I generally will not give any stars but will put a little note stating what I did. I love to give credit where credit is due. <br /> <br />I don't deduct stars if I personally do not like an ingredient in the recipe. I don't make recipes that I think that I won't like, which is why you will probably notice that most of my ratings are pretty high. I think it is silly that people choose to make recipes that include ingredients that they don't like then rate them poorly saying "I don't care for..." Anyway, you get the idea. <br /> <br />I've participated in <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group04cherry.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group09okra.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group02banana.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group12starfruit.jpg" alt="" /></p>
