Ingredients

• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
• 2 large ripe peaches
• 4 cups day-old bread cubes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

Wash the peaches, remove their pits, and slice them into thin wedges. You can leave the skin on for added texture or peel them if preferred.

Step 4

Spread the bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the bread cubes, followed by the peach slices and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, sausage, peaches, and cheese in the baking dish, ensuring everything is coated.

Step 8

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb some of the liquid.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Optional: Drizzle with a little extra maple syrup before serving for added sweetness.
