Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Peaches
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 12 pieces Day-old brioche bread (thick slices)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Peel and thinly slice the peaches, then layer them evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the peaches. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Slice the brioche bread into thick slices and then cut each slice into halves or quarters, depending on preference.
Layer the brioche slices evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Slightly overlap slices to ensure complete coverage.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and peaches, pressing down lightly to ensure the bread absorbs the custard.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight (or at least for 4 hours) to allow the bread to soak.
The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the plastic wrap or foil and bake the dish uncovered for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Let the casserole cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar and serve with warm maple syrup.
