Cook Time: 3 hours
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2-3 ripe peaches 🍑
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 large croissants 🥐
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk 🥛
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Slice the peaches into a large glass bowl and sprinkle them with a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Layer Croissants:

   • Slice the croissants into 1-inch slices and arrange them in a deep baking dish with the cream cheese side facing up.

3. Add Peaches:

   • Spoon the prepared peaches over the croissant slices, ensuring even distribution across the dish.

4. Second Croissant Layer:

   • Add another layer of croissant slices on top of the peaches, creating a sandwich-like structure.

5. Prepare Egg Mixture:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

6. Pour Egg Mixture:

   • Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layered croissants and peaches, ensuring that it evenly coats the entire dish.

7. Let it Set:

   • Allow the mixture to set for half an hour to allow the croissants to absorb the egg mixture fully.

8. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Sprinkle the top of the strata with additional nutmeg for extra flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for about one hour, or until the strata is set and golden brown on top.

9. Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the Peach Strata from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh peach slices and a dollop of whipped cream, or indulge with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an extra treat!
