Baked Peaches - A sweet French dessert
Description
This Baked Peaches dessert features halved peaches placed on slices of bread with crusts removed, each peach cavity filled with sugar and a piece of unsalted butter. Baking at a moderate oven temperature allows the peaches to soften and release their juices, which soak into the bread beneath. The butter melts into the fruit creating a rich, buttery note balanced by the sweetness of the sugar.
The bread acts as a base, absorbing flavors and becoming moist and tender while supporting the peach halves as they bake. The oven time ensures the peaches cook evenly without becoming mushy, preserving their shape and texture. This dessert can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for different serving preferences.

- 4 lices bread crust removed
- 4 peaches cut in half and pitted
