Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the brioche in a 7½-by-11½-inch shallow baking dish in a single or slightly overlapping layer. Place the nectarines in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice and ½ cup of sugar. Layer the nectarines over the bread.

For very little effort, this recipe pays off big in taste. I used very old and dry, whole-wheat sourdough bread and assembled in the afternoon for dessert that night to let the fruit juices soak into the bread. I used blackberries because they were on hand. Rather than an additional 2T sugar, I just tossed the berries in residual sugar left in the bowl I used for the nectarines. Served with plain Greek yogurt -- a great weeknight dessert!
Made this with white and yellow nectarines, some of which were very ripe. Our oven runs hot so I only baked it for 30 min. Came out wonderfully. The bottom of the bread was slightly crisp and absorbed the juices from the fruit. Served with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
