Grilled peaches with yogurt brûlée

Grilled peaches with yogurt brûlée: When we have visitors, we like to introduce them to seasonal foods and present them in a different way.

While I was living in Gaeta, Italy, during late June and early July, peaches were hanging from trees around the gardens of paradise.

Our neighbor Miguele, brought us a box of peaches that had just been given to him by his brother. They were still warm from being in the afternoon Mediterranean sun and were so juicy that it was impossible to eat one without the juice running running over and dripping off of your chin. We all took one out of the box and for a moment there was a chorus of ‘slurping’ noises.

It was a real pleasure for me to be able to serve our grilled peaches with yogurt brûlée at breakfast for Katrina and her mother, visiting us from Russia. This recipe turned out to be such a success that I scribbled it all down for you.
