Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Peach Bread Pudding:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Bread: Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix the Peaches: Add the diced peaches to the bread, gently folding them in to distribute evenly.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well mixed.

6. Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the mixture for added richness.
