Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 cups day-old brioche or challah bread, torn into pieces
- 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
Custard Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Arrange Bread Pieces: Tear the day-old brioche or challah bread into bite-sized pieces and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Add Peaches: Slice fresh peaches and layer them evenly over the bread pieces to distribute their flavor throughout the pudding.
- Mix Custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk (or alternative milk), sugar, melted butter, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Soak Bread and Peaches: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and peaches in the dish. Gently press down the bread pieces to help them soak up the custard.
- Bake the Pudding: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown on top and set in the middle when lightly shaken.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving warm. It pairs beautifully with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- Using day-old bread helps absorb the custard better without becoming too soggy.
- Fresh peaches add vibrant flavor, but frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable—make sure to thaw and drain excess liquid.
- You can substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust sugar amount to your taste or use brown sugar for a richer flavor.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
