Flintstones French Toast

Don't kid your self bigger is always better. Fred would be proud to eat this French Toast. For those readers that never watched the Flintstones you don't know what you were missing.  Fred had a huge appetite that only a mother could love and a heart to match. I am sure if Fred came across my French Toast he would utter his famous phase "YABBA DABBA DOO"      Forewarned these babies are stuffed and high in calories so dieters beware. Definitely not for people watching their waist line. These babies are carb overload and like Fred you will need a nap after breakfast.  First thing you have to decide is what kind of bread you want to use.   You gotta  choose something that can hold up to the stuffing and a crushing dip into frosted flakes.  I chose  Challah  for my French  toast. Challah is a egg enriched bread and it makes  incredible French Toast. When I have time I like making my own.  I like to roll each strand of braid in cinnamon sugar first

I had this wonderful french toast made with Challah  and they topped it with sliced peaches and candied walnuts.   After I added butter  and maple syrup to my French toast the gastronomic explosion happened and a new sauce was created.  If fresh peaches are out of season or you don't want to go to the trouble than canned peaches are completely acceptable.  Just choose peaches in light syrup because you are going to drain off the syrup anyway.  Combine in Saucepan  About 3 cups of fresh sliced peaches  or 2 cans of peaches in light syrup drained.  1 stick of unsalted butter (4 oz) 1 cup (or more) of your favorite Dark Maple syrup. 2-3 cups of Pecans (more is better in my opinion)  Heat through and reduce sa
