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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Distribute the sliced peaches and pears evenly over the bread cubes in the dish.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the bread to soak in the custard.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness!
