Peaches Under Meringue

• doses: 4 items
• tempo total: 10 minutes

Ingredientes

2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided

1 large egg white

2 tablespoons finely chopped sesame candy or crushed amaretti

Instruções

Preheat broiler.

Put peaches, cut side up, on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar (total). Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until tops begin to brown, 2 to 4 minutes.

Beat egg white with a pinch of salt in a deep bowl using an electric mixer at medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3 tablespoon sugar, beating until white holds stiff, glossy peaks. Fold in sesame candy.

Place a dollop of meringue on each peach half and broil 30 seconds. Turn off broiler and leave peaches in oven just until tips of meringue are browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute (watch carefully).
