Ingredients

• 6 cups Brioche bread
• 3 cups Fresh peaches, diced
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2.5 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing dish)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the diced fresh peaches over the bread cubes, ensuring even distribution.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and peaches in the baking dish. Gently press down with a spatula to ensure the bread absorbs the custard.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence!
