Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Place bread cubes in the baking dish. If using day-old bread, let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb more custard.

Step 2: Make the Custard Mixture

In a bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, pressing down slightly to soak the bread.

Step 3: Add the Peaches

Gently fold peach slices into the mixture. Drizzle with melted butter for extra richness.

Step 4: Bake the Bread Pudding

Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon (optional for extra sweetness).
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and set.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or ice cream.

Notes

Use Day-Old Bread – Slightly stale bread absorbs the custard better.
Don’t Overmix the Peaches – Gently fold them in to keep them from breaking.
For Extra Crunch – Add chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
For a Boozy Twist – Add 1 tablespoon bourbon or rum to the custard.
