Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups day-old bread (such as brioche or French bread)
- 2 whole ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 2 whole ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the dish)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Distribute the sliced peaches and pears evenly over the bread cubes in the dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread, peaches, and pears. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure all the bread absorbs the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the bread to soak in the custard.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness!
