Peaches n' Cream


Life handed us a loaf of stale-ish bread, too many eggs, and a peach that had gone all soft and a little too squishy. Did we cry? Did we complain? No! We made peaches and cream bread pudding! Yum. It's creamy and a little sweet with a little hint of peaches every now and then. Amy had a little bit while we were making her her chicken and rice for dinner.

Peaches and Cream Summer Bread Pudding

3-4 cups stale bread torn into small cubes
4 eggs
1 ripe peach, cut into small bits without the skin (I squeezed the skins over the bowl to gush out the peach juice into the mixture)
3/4 cup milk (or cream if you're feeling especially decadent)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
pinch of nutmeg

Mix up all the ingredients except the bread and the peaches together in a bowl. Pour over the bread and peaches in an oven-safe dish. Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is starting to get a little browned.
We like to eat it warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or a little half and half poured over the top.
