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)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for optional glaze)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for optional glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with butter.
- Layer the cubed bread and peach slices evenly in the prepared dish.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until combined.
- Pour the custard mixture over the bread and peaches, pressing gently to soak the bread. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Dot the top with small pieces of butter, then bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
- Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together until smooth for the optional glaze.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with glaze, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Using day-old bread is key to preventing a soggy pudding. Feel free to experiment with different fruits or add nuts for texture.
