Y’all, let me tell you about this absolutely divine recipe that’s been passed down through generations in my family – our famous Southern Peach Cobbler Bread Pudding. Trust me, this isn’t your regular old dessert; it’s what I like to call a “shut-up-and-eat” kind of treat that’ll have everyone at your table swooning!
I remember the first time my grandmother taught me this recipe, and honey, I’ve been making hearts (and bellies) happy with it ever since. The best part? It’s basically foolproof, even if you’re not exactly besties with your kitchen.
What You’ll Need:
– 1 loaf of day-old brioche bread (stale is gold here, ladies!)
– 4 ripe peaches (or 2 cans of peaches if you’re in a pinch)
– 3 large eggs
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– Pinch of salt
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 350°F. Girl, don’t skip this step – we’re not savages!
1. Cut your brioche into 1-inch cubes. If you’re using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. If using canned, drain them well – we don’t want soggy pudding, trust!
1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. This is your magical custard mixture!
1. Layer half the bread cubes in a buttered 9×13 baking dish, top with half the peaches, then repeat. Pour that custard mixture all over, making sure every piece of bread gets some love.
1. Let it sit for 15 minutes – perfect time to scroll through your phone or touch up your lipstick! 💋
1. Drizzle with melted butter and pop it in the oven for about 45-50 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffy.
The smell while this bakes? Heaven! Your neighbors might “accidentally” stop by to say hello. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Y’all, this dessert is pure comfort in a dish. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and watch everyone’s eyes roll back in pure bliss. It’s the kind of dessert that makes people propose marriage – no joke!
