Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ripe peaches (about 1 pound), peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 shortbread or butter cookies, crumbled (about 1/4 cup crumbs)
heavy cream as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a bowl toss together the peaches, the lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar and in a buttered flameproof baking pan large enough to hold the peaches in one layer broil the mixture about 6 inches from a preheated broiler for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the peaches are tender. In a small bowl combine the remaining 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the butter, and the cookie crumbs and sprinkle the topping over the peaches. Broil the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the topping is pale golden. Divide the mixture between 2 dishes and serve it with the cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm peaches: Look for peaches that have a deep, golden-yellow color and give slightly when pressed.
  • Prepare the peaches properly: Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them into wedges. Remove the pit and any blemishes.
  • Brush the peaches with melted butter or oil: This will help them to caramelize and brown nicely under the broiler.
  • Sprinkle the peaches with sugar and spices: This will add flavor and help them to caramelize.
  • Broil the peaches for a few minutes per side: Keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
  • Serve the peaches warm or at room temperature: They can be served on their own or with ice cream, yogurt, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Broiled peaches are a simple and delicious summer dessert. With just a few ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. The peaches are caramelized and slightly smoky, with a tender and juicy interior. They can be served on their own or with a variety of toppings, making them a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
