Dice 4 Tbsp of butter and sprinkle over the peaches. Finish with ¼ tsp of vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
Add the old-fashioned or rolled oats to a large bowl. Add ¼ tsp cinnamon, pinch salt, and the remaining ¼ cup brown sugar, and mix well.
Mix 1 cup of peach juice with the cream and the remaining ¼ tsp of vanilla. Add the beaten eggs and mix. Add the wet mixture to the oatmeal and stir just until incorporated.
Dollop the oats over the peaches. Dice the remaining 4 tbsp of butter and sprinkle over the top. Garnish with peach slices.
