Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Cut the brioche slices into halves or quarters for layering purposes. Set aside.
Slice the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pit. If desired, peel the peaches beforehand.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until fully combined.
Arrange a layer of brioche slices in the prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of peach slices, then repeat the layers until all the bread and peaches are used, finishing with a layer of peaches on top.
Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread gets soaked. Lightly press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top layer of peaches.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar for garnish.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
