Instructions:
-
- Prepare Dish and Preheat Oven: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 3/4 cup melted butter and 1 cup white sugar. Mix together with a whisk or electric mixer until fully combined and the mixture becomes light and airy. Beat the 6 eggs into the sugar mixture one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue to mix for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is airy and well emulsified. Stir in the ½ tablespoon vanilla extract.
-
- Add Bread and Peaches: Add the cubed sliced white sandwich bread and the 4 (4 oz) cups diced peaches with their juices to the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until all the bread cubes are well combined and soaked in the liquid.
- Assemble and Top: Transfer the entire pudding mixture evenly into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the ½ cup packed brown sugar evenly over the top of the pudding.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top begins to turn golden brown and the pudding is set and slightly puffed. The exact baking time may vary based on oven calibration and the type of bread used.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve the Peach Baked Pudding warm, or you can chill it and serve it cold. It’s particularly delicious topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
