Steps
The ingredients are things you always have at home, so it is simple.
Instead of peaches, you can use kabocha squash or other fruits or vegetables.
Some of the peaches had bug bites and blemishes, so I carved those out cleanly with a knife
and diced them finely.
Put the peaches in a frying pan, and since they were not very sweet, I added 1.5 tsp of sugar and sautéed them lightly.
If you cook them too long like stewing fruit, they lose their texture. Just sauté them briefly until the sugar melts
and coats the peaches.
Let the sautéed peaches cool.
I barely have any bread-making tools, so instead of a baking pan, I used a large glass bowl lined with tracing paper from a stationery store
cut to fit the size. Make do with what you have.
If you do not have parchment or greaseproof paper, greasing the bowl with oil or butter makes the bread release easily.
Separate 3 eggs into whites and yolks, then whip the whites into a foam.
Add the measured sugar in 3 to 4 additions as you mix...
With a whisk it would be done quickly, but I happily whisked it by hand.
You need to whip it until it turns white and the foam does not fall.
For the 3 egg yolks, simply mix them with the melted butter to have them ready.
Add the yolk-and-butter mixture to the whipped egg whites and mix gently.
Just fold from the bottom up as if scooping. You do not want all that hard-earned foam to deflate.
Add the sifted flour as well... Once it looks fairly combined...
Add the milk and the sautéed peaches, then mix again.
Gently, gently.
Pour the finished batter into the bowl and microwave for 4 minutes.
Here is the bread right after taking it out of the microwave.

FAQ
Can I use ingredients other than peaches?
Yes, you can make this using kabocha squash or other fruits or vegetables instead of peaches.
Is there anything to keep in mind when sauteing the fruit?
If you cook it too long like stewing, it loses its tender bite, so sauté it lightly just until the sugar melts and coats the pieces, then let it cool.
What should I do if I don't have a baking pan or parchment paper?
Line a heatproof glass bowl with greaseproof paper, or if you have no paper, spread butter or oil evenly inside the bowl so the bread releases cleanly.
Is there a trick to keeping the foam intact when mixing the batter?
To keep the meringue from deflating, it is best to fold gently, scooping smoothly from the bottom upward with a spatula.
