Ingredients

• 8 slices day-old bread (French or brioche)
• 3 medium ripe peaches, sliced
• 6 eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Slice the day-old bread into thick triangles or cubes and layer half of the bread into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Evenly distribute half of the sliced peaches over the bread layer.

Step 4

Add the remaining bread into the dish, followed by the rest of the peach slices on top.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and peaches, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure all the bread is soaked with the custard.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, allowing the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 8

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Remove the plastic wrap or foil and drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 10

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is fully set.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, and optionally, pair with maple syrup or extra cream for added indulgence.
