Recipe: Peach and Cheese Cinnamon French Toast Strata with Apple Cider Reduction Sauce


  • One 1 lb. loaf of unsliced French bread, cut into 1" cubes, or a wonderful homemade cinnamon bread would be great!
  • One 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, cut into cubes (do this when the cheese is very cold)
  • 2 cups frozen or fresh peaches (cut up)
  • 8 eggs
  • 2, 1/2 cups half & half
  • 6 T. butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup real maple syrup
Cut French bread into cubes. Place half the cubes into a 13" x 9" baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Top with the cubed cheese and the frozen blueberries. Top with remaining cubes. Combine the eggs, half & half, maple syrup and melted butter in a large bowl; mix well. Pour egg mixture evenly over the cubes. Cover with plastic wrap and press down gently. Refrigerate for 2-24 hours. Bake at 325 for 50 minutes. Allow to sit 10 minutes prior to cutting and serving. Top with a healthy drizzle of Cinnamon Cider Syrup (recipe below) and serve additional Cinnamon Cider Syrup on the side. One 13" x 9" pan serves 8 generously. Cinnamon Cider Syrup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 2 T butter
Combine sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Stir in apple cider and lemon juice. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens and is bubbly. Cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Makes about 1,1/2 cups. WONDERFUL!
