butter. Put bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown
(about 10 minutes).

sugar with egg yolks; whisk hot half-and-half into egg-sugar mixture.

wire mesh strainer over bread. Distribute sliced peaches over
bread-custard mixture; top with pecans. Arrange remaining bread over
fruit and strain remaining egg-custard mixture over bread. Let stand
1 hour, covered with plastic wrap, or refrigerate up to 6 hours.
4. If refrigerated, remove from refrigerator about 2 hours before

brown and slightly crusty (about 1-3/4 hours). Serve warm, cut into
