Description
A delicious twist on traditional bread pudding featuring sweet peaches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cubed bread (day-old or slightly dry, like brioche or French bread)
- 2 cups canned or fresh peaches, sliced (drained if canned)
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing and dotting on top)
- Optional glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1–2 tablespoons milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter.
- In the prepared dish, layer the cubed bread and peach slices evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Slowly pour the mixture over the bread and peaches, pressing gently to soak the bread. Let sit for 10–15 minutes so it absorbs the custard.
- Dot the top with small pieces of butter. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden and set in the center.
- Mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm bread pudding if desired.
- Serve warm, with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For best results, use day-old bread to prevent sogginess.
- Feel free to add nuts or raisins for extra texture.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
