Ingredients:
- 6 cups (350g) cubed brioche or challah bread
- 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups (450g) sliced peaches
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp (12g) brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 2 tbsp (28g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Toss the bread cubes with melted butter in a large bowl and spread them evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, toss sliced peaches with cinnamon and brown sugar, then scatter them evenly over the bread, pressing them down gently.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt until the mixture is completely smooth and pale yellow.
- Slowly pour the custard over the bread and peaches, using a spatula to gently press the bread down to ensure every cube is saturated.
- Let the casserole sit and soak for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, rub the cold butter into the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon using your fingertips until it looks like coarse wet sand.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top is a deep, golden mahogany color.
- Verify the center is set by inserting a knife; it should come out clean.
