French toast & canned peaches

Ingredients
8 slices white bread or Challah (a day or two old)
½ cup milk
4 eggs
1 tablespoon sugarButter for frying
For cooked topping:
8 peach halves (or more if you like) and
¼ cup of the canned juice2 tablespoons butter
Preparation
Start with the topping: in a small pan, melt the butter on a medium heat, add the sugar and let caramelize for just a minute. Add the peaches and the juice and simmer on a low heat for 5 more minutes.Meanwhile combine the milk, the eggs and the sugar. Whisk with a fork. Put the bread slices in the mixture and leave to soak for just a minute. Melt some butter in a pan and fry the soaked bread slices till golden brown. Place on individual plates (or on one serving plate) and add one peach halve onto each bread slice. Then pour a little of the warm, cooked topping for a wonderful taste and an appetizing finish. It will disappear soon.
