After our glut-buster cooking session, we were left with a few hard peaches which didn’t want to ripen. The answer: grill them! They made a stunning breakfast with local cheese and some brioche – okay the brioche is not proper French brioche, it was ready-sliced and bought from Hipercor on the coast. But it’s the only brioche we can get and it tasted wonderful! A handful of pistachios, chopped
Ricotta, Flor de Ronda, or other creamy cheese with a slightly salty tang
Peaches, preferably unripe
Brioche
1 tbsp sugar Heat the grill, and line the grill pan with foil.
Prepare the nuts and set aside.
Halve the peaches, removing the stones. Tip the sugar into a saucer, dip the peach halves into the sugar, and place on the grill pan. Grill for a couple of minutes until the sugar starts to bubble and turn golden. Turn the peaches over, and sprinkle with a little more sugar. Grill until brown.
Meanwhile, toast the brioche.
Assemble your plate, slices of brioche first then, the peaches and a generous spoonful of cheese. Sprinkle nuts over the top.
This will work as a dessert, without the brioche. You could also replace the cheese with vanilla ice cream. This breakfast is adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe, we substituted peaches for apricots, and added toasted brioche to make it a breakfast dish. Click here for more Martha Stewart recipes.
5 to remember
verde – unripe
sensacional – stunning
por desayuno – for breakfast
el pistacho – pistachio [the nut]
una rebanada – a slice
Marvelous idea! We have also grilled Meyer lemons (with a tad of olive oil and paprika) and consumed them with cheese and a nice baguette. Yummy.

Never thought about grilling unripe fruit before. Will try it (and hopefully move us away from peanut butter on toast!)

Where do you buy peanut butter in Andalucia? We cook a lot with unripe fruit, crumbles and cakes mostly. SD

Local supermarkets – at least two sell it.
