Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (French baguette or brioche)
- 3 large Fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Amaretto liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the sliced peaches to the bowl with the bread cubes and gently toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, Amaretto, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread and peaches, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Gently press the bread down with the back of a spoon to help it absorb the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
Transfer the bread and custard mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
