Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 120 grams goat cheese
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams toasted pecans or almonds (optional)
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Halve the peaches and remove the pits. If the peaches are freestone, this will be easy—use a small spoon to scoop out the pits if necessary.
Place the peach halves, cut side up, in a baking dish. Gently hollow out the center of each peach half just a bit more using a spoon to create room for the goat cheese.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish, melt the butter and stir in the vanilla extract.
Brush the melted butter mixture over the cut sides of the peaches.
Roast the peaches in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly caramelized at the edges.
While the peaches are roasting, divide the goat cheese into 8 portions (one for each peach half) and lightly shape them into small balls or dollops.
Remove the peaches from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 3-5 minutes.
Place a dollop of goat cheese into the hollowed center of each peach half.
Drizzle the honey over the peaches and goat cheese. If desired, sprinkle the toasted pecans or almonds on top for added texture.
Garnish each peach half with a fresh mint leaf and serve warm. Enjoy!
