Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Day-old bread (French or brioche, cubed)
- 4 medium Fresh peaches (sliced)
- 6 large Eggs
- 2.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- to taste Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Add the cubed bread into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Layer the peach slices over the top of the bread evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread and peaches, pressing down gently with a spatula to make sure the bread absorbs the liquid.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight if preparing ahead.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and remove the dish from the refrigerator while the oven heats.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the dish.
Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Let the bake cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side for optional sweetness.
