Peachy French Toast

Hi there!

I'm on vacation, so I like to get a little splurgy at breakfast.  You can too - make 2 slices of french toast (dunk bread into about 3/4 c. milk with an egg beaten into it, a few drops of vanilla, and a pinch of salt, then brown on both sides in a pan) and top them with a peach syrup.

Take the skin off the peach and cut the fruit into chunks.  In a small pan, very slowly warm up 4 tablespoons maple syrup (more if you like), 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 - 1 tablespoon butter.  Add the peach chunks and stir gently for 5-10 minutes, until the peaches are heated through and slightly soft.  If you know how and you want to get really fancy at this point, you could add a tablespoon of bourbon and set it on fire, but it's really not necessary to do either.  Let the syrup cool for a few minutes before ladeling it over the french toast.  This would be very good topped with fresh blueberries, too.

A word of caution:  heat the syrup mixture on as low a heat as you can manage.  If it looks like you're going to drop it or spill it, let it go and get out of the way - it's like molten lava and it's also sticky.
