Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie dish or a shallow baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and slice them into thin wedges. Arrange the peach slices evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and whisk gently until smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the custard mixture over the arranged peaches, ensuring all the wedges are partially submerged but still visible.
Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the peach custard to cool for about 15 minutes. It can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or garnish with a sprig of mint for presentation before serving.
