Combine eggs, remaining 1 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup peaches, 3 tablespoons sugar, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in large bowl. Pour egg-peach mixture over the bread cubes and lightly mix until cubes have absorbed much of the liquid.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the top of the casserole is golden.

Place 1/3 cup peaches in blender; cover. Puree until smooth. Add remaining 1/3 cup almond milk that was refrigerated, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, grated lemon peel and juice to peaches. Blend until smooth. Adjust flavors as needed.
