Broiled Peaches

A huge pro of Colorado is that it is home to Palisade which grows some of the most delicious peaches I've ever had! They are at all the farmer's markets and grocery stores this time of year and for the cheap price, you can't afford to load up and eat juicy peaches to your hearts content!

This is our favorite way to eat them at the Ellison household.


Warm, juicy and topped with Greek yogurt and balsamic vinegar.


Broiled Peaches
Yield: 2 servings
Prep Time: 5 min. Total Time: 10 min.

Ingredients:
One peach, sliced in half (this recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc!)
Granulated Sugar
Greek Yogurt
Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:
-Turn the oven on to broil on high. Line a cookie sheet with foil and lay halved peaches skin side down (so the inside of the peach is up) and sprinkle generously with sugar.

-Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until sugar is bubbling and light brown. Watch closely as they can burn quickly!

-Remove from oven and top each peach half with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

To kick it up a notch, I use Vanilla Balsamic Vinegar from my favorite local store, the EVOO Marketplace. But even mixing in a little bit of vanilla extract with your balsamic would be delicious!

Enjoy!
