Description
This is a stunningly simple and delicious recipe from the food you crave cookbook. I have copied exactly, the books version but we make it slightly different at our home. I've used artisan loaves of bread: raisin/pecan; apricot/almond; and other fruit/nut combinations for the bread. Then, instead of the combination of egg whites and whole eggs, we just use the entire egg and 2% milk. I have found that there is no difference between the hard-to-find frozen peach slices and drained, canned peaches so we now use canned. I've also made this with a combination of fruit: canned peaches and apricots, just one of the fruits or sauteed granny smith apple slices with butter and applejack brandy added to the saute pan. This is a hearty and beloved recipe at our home and extremely easy to adapt to your taste and calorie needs. It can also be cut in half and made in an 8" x 8" pan with the same great results.
