Delicious bread pudding, we used canned peach slices and it was still fantastic

I made a half amount of the recipe using 2 eggs and got a really terrific bread pudding. My "sample" dish was really delicious still quite warm and the sauce is to die for. It's a dessert where a little goes a long way but you'll be oh so tempted to grab seconds as soon as the first serving is gone. The fresh peach addition is an excellent thought also. Made for For Your Consideration.
