Ingrediente

Unsalted butter

2 slices country bread, day-old or dried out in a low oven

Sugar

1 big juicy nectarine

Instrucțiuni

Butter the slices of bread and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Cut the nectarine in half and remove the pit. Slice the fruit and arrange over the bread. Sprinkle only lightly with sugar if the fruit is very sweet. For a more caramelized effect, be more generous with the sugar. Place the bread on a baking sheet. Bake in a 425° oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fruit softens, the sugar caramelizes a little, and the bread is toasted around the edges. If desired, place under broiler brieth to caramelize the top. Serve immediately.
