Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Peach halves (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt (or whipped cream)
- 1 tablespoons Honey (optional, for drizzling)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the peach halves. If using fresh peaches, cut them in half and remove the pits.
In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the peach halves, cut side down, and cook for 3 minutes, allowing them to caramelize slightly.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the peaches and drizzle in the vanilla extract. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, spooning the melted butter-sugar mixture over the tops of the peaches occasionally.
Carefully remove the caramelized peaches from the skillet and set them aside to cool slightly.
On each serving plate, dollop 2–3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or whipped cream in the center. Spread it slightly to mimic the look of egg whites.
Place a caramelized peach half (round side up) on top of the yogurt to resemble the 'yolk' of a sunny-side-up egg.
Drizzle with honey for additional sweetness, if desired, and garnish with a fresh mint leaf.
Serve immediately and enjoy this whimsical and tasty treat!
