Overnight Peaches and Cream French Toast

On the weekend I love to make a bigger breakfast, but during the week it’s easier to have something filling for my hubby to heat up before heading off to work. I like how this dish turned out it’s not too sweet and the cream cheese adds a nice creaminess to the dish. It could even works as a dessert too.
