Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 cups day-old French bread (1-inch cubes)
  • 6 cups fresh or frozen peach chunks
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 1 serving whipped cream or ice cream (for serving, optional)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Add the day-old French bread cubes, tossing until evenly coated; set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the peach chunks with cornstarch, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Place in a 4-quart baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Spread the soaked bread cubes evenly over the top.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles small peas; scatter evenly over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through and bubbly around the edges.
  7. Serve topped with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat before serving.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the assembled but unbaked casserole for up to a month. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before baking.
  • Pairing: Serve with a refreshing fruit salad or a light beverage to balance the sweetness.
  • Serving suggestion: Top with a drizzle of warm maple syrup for added sweetness.
  • Leftover idea: Use leftovers to make a delicious breakfast parfait!
