Ingredients

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Greek yogurt or whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Peaches: Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half and remove the pits. If desired, you can peel the peaches, but keeping the skin adds texture and flavor.

Make the Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, pinch of salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a paste.

Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam slightly.

Glaze the Peaches: Once the butter is melted, add the peach halves cut-side down into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to caramelize.

Add the Mixture: Flip the peaches over, and spoon the brown sugar mixture over the glazed side. Allow the peaches to cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender and caramelized.

Serve: Remove the peaches from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Enjoy: These pan-fried peaches are a perfect addition to breakfast, brunch, or can serve as a fantastic dessert!
