- Milk
- Heavy cream
- Granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Arrange bread cubes evenly in the dish and scatter peaches over the top.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and peaches, pressing gently so the bread absorbs the liquid.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Remove from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, canned, or frozen peaches (thawed and drained) depending on availability.
- Brioche, challah, or French bread work best for texture and flavor.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
- Top with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream before serving.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
