5. Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
6. Put each piece on the tray and then bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until egg mixture has turned golden brown.
7. Divide the toast between two plates.
8. Spoon the yoghurt over, top with peach slices and sprinkle with toasted almonds.

OUTSTANDING breakfast & easy to prepare, too! I made a loaf of raisin bread just for this recipe so I could have my usual abundance of raisins AND slice it thick! Then, I made the recipe as written & we had AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT & TASTY BREAKFAST! A very nice keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders tag]
