Ingredients

• 1 lb. brioche or challah bread, cut into 1 inch pieces (12 cups)
• 5 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 large ripe yellow peaches, pitted and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 cup sugar, plus 2 Tbsp for topping
• 1/4 cup peach schnapps (optional)
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 3 cups milk
• 1/2 cup grade A maple syrup
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spread brioche on rimmed baking sheet. Toast for about 15 minutes, turning once or twice.

2. Melt butter in a large skillet. Reserve 3 Tbsp of melted butter.

3. Add peaches and 1/4 cup sugar to skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

4. Remove from heat and add schnapps, if desired. Return skillet to heat and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in 1/4 cup of maple syrup.

5. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk and 3/4 cup sugar. Add brioche and peach mixture and toss until coated. Let stand 5-10 minutes.

6. Brush an 8-by-11-in baking dish with 1 Tbsp melted butter. Add bread pudding and drizzle with remaining syrup and 2 Tbsp melted butter. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp sugar.

7. Bake for about 50 minutes, until pudding is set and the top is golden and slightly crispy.

8. Let cool and serve.
