Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine peaches, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside. Pour milk into a mixing bowl, using 4 cups for soft croissants, more if they are very dry. Mix in 3/4 cup sugar, rum, vanilla, eggs and salt.

Coat a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Arrange 1/4 of croissants in bottom, tearing them as needed to fit. Layer with 1/3 of peach mixture. Pour 1/4 of milk mixture over top. Let stand briefly. Repeat process, pressing down between each layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar and dot with remaining butter. Bake 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm.
