2 or 3 ripe fresh peaches, peeled
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 or 3 large cream cheese croissants
4 extra-large eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk or 1/2 cup whole milk
and 1 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Vanilla yogurt
Slice peaches into a large glass bowl and sprinkle with a mixture of 1/2 cup
sugar,
nutmeg and cinnamon. Set aside.
Slice cream cheese croissants into 1-inch slices and layer in a deep baking dish
with cream cheese side up. Spoon peaches over croissant slices. Add a second
layer
of croissant slices on top. Whisk eggs, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and
vanilla
extract together until smooth. Pour egg mixture over the layered croissants and
peaches.
Let mixture set for 30 minutes so that the egg mixture will be absorbed.
Sprinkle top with additional nutmeg and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour until
set
and golden brown. Garnish with vanilla yogurt and fresh peach slices. Enjoy.
