Meringue-Topped Peach Bread Pudding image

My English mother loved to make bread pudding, and when we were living in South Africa many years ago, I found a recipe that added the meringue topping. I adapted the idea and came up with my peach version. Mum declared it better than her original!

I would not recommend this recipe. The bread pudding was dry and the meringue topping was too runny.

This recipe was a little bit of a disappointment. The bread pudding was bland and the meringue topping was too sweet.

The meringue topping was a little too soft for my taste. I would probably cook it for a little longer next time.

I thought this recipe was a little too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This was a great way to use up some leftover bread. The bread pudding was moist and flavorful, and the meringue topping was perfectly crispy.

This bread pudding was a hit! The meringue topping was perfectly golden and crispy, and the bread pudding itself was moist and flavorful. I used fresh peaches from my backyard, and they added a wonderful sweetness and juiciness to the dish.
