Baked French Toast with Peaches and Butter Syrup by www.cookingwithruthie.com

I love peaches fresh off the tree and around our neck of the woods that time is almost done for this year, BUT I was lucky enough to find a few at a local produce stand last week.

Baked French Toast with Peaches and Butter Syrup are so amazing with or without any fruit.

The possibilities are endless- add seasonal fruit or berries or the Baked French Toasts all by itself is just wonderful too 🙂
