Peaches and Meringue at home is a dessert recipe on Avoteb. The yield on the card is 4. Plan on 16 minutes from start to plate. The amounts and the method are both on this page.
Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
- 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 3 tablespoons granulated white, divided
- 1 large egg white, room temperature
- optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, granola, caramel sauce, etc.
Method
Warm oven broiler.
Places peaches, cut side up, on a baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon sugar per peach half. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until tops begin to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
While that cooks, add egg white with a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer (or a hand blender also works well) on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, beating briefly until the meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks.
Set a dollop of meringue on each peach half and return to the broiler for 10-15 seconds. Turn off broiler and leave peaches in oven just until tips of meringue are browned, 20-30 seconds. (Watch very carefully so that the meringue does not burn.)
Plate while it is hot, garnished with any extra toppings if you would like, and enjoy!
