• Fit as many slices in the skillet as you can, cooking them until golden on the first side, about 2 1/2 minutes. Flip to cook them on the other side for about 2 minutes. Remove them to a plate. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and repeat with the rest of the bread slices until they're all cooked.
• To the same skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, the remaining 1 cup of brown sugar, and the salt. Stir and cook over medium heat until the butter and sugar are melted and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes.

Turn the stove on medium heat and continue to stir and cook for another minute, or until the mixture is starting to thicken. Add the pecans, stir to combine.

• 2. Spray 9 X 13 pan with Pam or other nonstick spray. Then put half of the bread cubes in it. Spread them so that the bottom of the pan is covered evenly.
• 3. Over the bread cubes, lay out the cream cheese cubes, spaced evenly. There won't be huge covering, but you will be adding the ricotta so don't worry. There will be plenty of cheese.
• 4. Drain one can of peaches and space them evenly over the bread and cream cheese. Be sure to put some near the edges and in the corners so that they are flavorful too.
• 5. Sprinkle one half of the pecans over and around the peaches.

• 10. Pour the egg mixture over the entire pan. Be sure all the bread is covered with egg mixture or cheese or something. You don't want any dried out pieces of bread along the corners or edges.
• 11. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Use non-stick foil if you have it. Crimp it tightly around the edges and put in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
