Description
These baked peaches are a simple yet elegant summer dessert, perfectly balancing the sweetness of honey with the tartness of sour cream and the crunch of fried breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 fresh peaches
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or cardamom)
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rum or amaretto
- Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash the peaches, cut them in half, and remove the stones.
- In a small pan, heat the honey over medium heat, then add the cinnamon and stir to combine.
- Place the peach halves in the pan, cut side down, and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally to coat both sides in the honey mixture. The honey should reduce slightly and coat the peaches.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove the peaches from the oven and drizzle with rum or amaretto.
- Serve the baked peaches warm, topped with fried breadcrumbs and a dollop of sour cream. Optionally, you can substitute sour cream with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For a different flavor, try using cardamom instead of cinnamon. You can substitute peaches with plums for a variation. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a richer dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
