Peaches 'n Cream Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce

8 cups cubed soft buttery rolls or bread
4 large eggs
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
3/4 cup heavy cream or half-n-half
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups coarsely chopped peaches
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Maple Bourbon Sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream or half-n-half
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-2 tablespoons bourbon

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.

Place bread cubes on a cookie sheet; bake 10 minutes or until toasted. Cool.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined. Stir in bread cubes and peaches and allow to soak for 10 minutes.

Pour mixture into baking dish; top with pecans. Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and just set. Cool on a wire rack.

To make the bourbon sauce, whisk together cream, maple syrup, brown sugar and bourbon, in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat and drizzle sauce over slices of bread pudding. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

  4. That looks incredible, my mouth's watering just looking at it. I've got some peaches that just don't seem to be getting any riper, so I might make this instead of waiting any longer for them. Thank you for this recipe

  8. This looks so good! I have been obsessed with bourbon in recipes lately. My favorite recently is bourbon mango pulled pork--so good! Glad you've been enjoying the weather!

  9. Well, that looks delicious!

    My man and I went fishing a couple of weekends ago with ZERO bites. Win some you lose some! Congrats on the first catch of the day!

  10. That looks beautiful. I've actually never made bread pudding because my hubby doesn't like it :( Maybe I can make a smaller batch? I don't know. But that looks fantastic :D

  13. There is actually almost nothing more that I love in life than bread pudding. Even better with peaches and cream!

    I went fishing once and got so sea sick that it was a total disaster! Seems like you had a MUCH better experience.

  15. Bread pudding really is just a baked version of French toast with more custard. When I eat baked French toast dishes at B&Bs they really taste like bread pudding to me, so eat all of the bread pudding you want for breakfast! I would eat this for breakfast…and lunch…and dinner…. Best of all, my husband is so anti-peach I’d have it all to myself!

    Sure I’d make it in the summer. I do more baking in the summer than I do any other time of year because summer is the only season where I have a lot of evenings free. Crank the AC and crank up the oven (and I call myself a treehugger!)

    Your post is getting me ready for my upcoming vacation. I get up at 5:15 on most gym days, but when I go to Chincoteague, instead of sleeping in, I have to get up even earlier. I sometimes have to meet the boat for the Pony Swim as early as 4AM. It is lovely to be out on the water early in the AM though. You got that part right.

    If you think boat racing games are geeky, you should see me playing Space Pop on the Kinect. You just fly around the room popping bubbles. It’s ridiculously fun and requires very little actual skill.

  17. Wow, 5:15AM with NO coffee?!? That's awesome. I would have been a whiny baby the entire time. LOL

  30. Wow, this looks so good! And your fishing trip looks fun. I'd have someone bait the line for me too...and gut the fish. That part is too gross.

    GREAT batch of bread pudding--the peaches are a lovely addition, and the sauce would enhance just about everything.
