Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old bread (challah, brioche, or French bread)
- 4 cups ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the melted butter.
Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the sliced peaches to the bread cubes, gently tossing them together to combine.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread and peaches. Stir gently to coat all the bread cubes evenly, being careful not to mash the peaches.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes so the bread can absorb some of the custard.
Transfer the bread and peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
