Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
4 ripe white peaches, halved lengthwise and pitted
3 tablespoons honey
4 to 6 ounces chewy almond nougat, coarsely chopped
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in upper third. Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet or saute pan over medium heat until foaming. Reduce heat to low; add sugar, stirring until it has dissolved. add peaches, cut side down, and cook until they start to caramelize, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and drizzle with honey.
Raise heat to medium-high. Bring pan juices to a boil. remove from heat.
Divide nougat pieces among peaches, arranging them in the center of each half. Spoon pan juices over tops.
Transfer to oven; roast until nougat melts and peaches turn golden brown and are tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
