Whip the Egg Yolks Well: Beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium/high speed for 8 minutes until creamy and pale. This creates a smooth, custard-like texture for the batter.
Layer the Peaches Evenly: When layering the peaches in the skillet, arrange them evenly for an even bake. This ensures each bite has the perfect balance of fruit and custard.
