Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups French bread (day-old, cubed)
- 3 cups Peaches (fresh or canned, sliced)
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Spread the cubed French bread evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Layer sliced peaches on top of the bread cubes, spreading them out evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and peaches, pressing the bread gently to ensure it absorbs the liquid.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the foil from the dish and drizzle the melted butter over the top.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove from the oven and let the bake cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Dust the top with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup on the side.
