Whether you pair it with some lemony baby greens and serve it as a salad dish or save it for a dessert, you will find the rich flavors and the combination of sweet and savory utterly mouth-wateringly fulfilling

I offered two of the four I made to our vegetarian babysitter, so bacon was off her menu, but it made my two roasted peaches absolutely irresistible
Today I added an extra flavor to half of mine: bacon. I offered two of the four I made to our vegetarian babysitter, so bacon was off her menu, but it made my two roasted peaches absolutely irresistible.
Ingredients:
- 4 Peaches (I like a combo of white & yellow peaches to add variety – either works)
- 8 TBS soft goat cheese
- 1 TBS maple syrup (optional)
- A sprinkle of sea salt
- 2 slices of bacon
- 4 large fresh basil leaves
- 3-4 tsp grass-fed butter
How to Prepare:
- if adding bacon, place the bacon in the oven to cook for 20 minutes (or use a stash of pre-cooked bacon if you have some)
- wash, dry and halve the peaches. carve out the pits & any crispy brown areas
- cut the basil into very fine ribbons and set aside
- place peaches face up on a glass baking dish
- place 1/2 tsp or less of butter inside each peach “pit” (the cave left where the pit was)
- sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the peaches
- scoop 1 TBS of goat cheese into each pit
- dress each mound of goat cheese with basil ribbons
- top with small bits of cooked bacon (this would also be delicious with chopped prosciutto or even well-chopped salami) – this step is optional
- drizzle a fine line of maple syrup over peaches (use as little as possible – you can actually omit this if you like)
- set tray in oven at 325 degrees for 20-30 minutes, add an additional 10 minutes if desired to brown the tops at 450 degrees.
- remove from oven, let cool, serve and enjoy!
