2tbspsugar,plus 1 tsp, divided
1egg white,large, at room temperature
pinchground cinnamon,or chopped pecans, crushed graham crackers, and/or drizzle of honey, optional extra toppings
Preparation
Preheat broiler.
Places peaches, cut side up, on a baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon sugar on each half. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for about 3 to 5 minutes or until tops begin to brown.
Meanwhile, add egg white with a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer (or a hand blender also works well) on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, beating briefly until the meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks.
Place a dollop of meringue on each peach half and return to the broiler for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn off the broiler and leave peaches in oven for about 20-300 seconds just until tips of meringue are browned.
