Description
A warm, comforting brunch dish that tastes like a cross between peach cobbler and custardy French toast, perfect for a cozy morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of brioche or challah bread
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 can of sliced peaches (in syrup) or 2 cups fresh sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Optional: powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Cut the brioche or challah into 1-1.5 inch cubes and place evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth. Pour over bread cubes, pressing gently to soak the bread. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Layer drained peach slices over the soaked bread, tucking between the cubes.
- Mix brown sugar with a pinch of cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and custard is set.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then serve warm with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Use day-old bread for best texture. Drain canned peaches well to avoid a watery dish.
