🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 5 whole ripe peaches
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 whole large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 slices day-old brioche or challah bread
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
• 0.25 cup maple syrup (optional for serving)

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

3. Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the peaches. Toss gently to coat and set aside to release juices.

4. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract, and light brown sugar until the mixture is smooth.

5. Cut the slices of bread into large cubes and arrange half of them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

6. Spoon half of the peach mixture (with some of the juices) over the bread cubes, spreading it evenly.

7. Layer the remaining bread cubes on top, followed by the rest of the peach mixture.

8. Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the entire dish, ensuring the bread soaks up the custard. Press the bread gently with a spatula to ensure all pieces are coated.

9. In a small saucepan, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth, then heat over medium heat while stirring constantly. Add any remaining peach juices in the bowl and cook until it thickens slightly (about 1-2 minutes). Drizzle this over the top layer of the cobbler.

10. Dot the top of the dish with small pieces of butter for extra richness.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

12. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

13. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
