Peaches And Meringue
- 2 whole Large Ripe Peaches, Halved And Pitted
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar, Plus 1 Teaspoon For Sprinkling On Peaches
- 1 whole Large Egg White, Room Temperature
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Graham Crackers
- Preheat broiler. Put peaches, cut side up, on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sugar on each half. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until tops begin to brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Beat egg white with a pinch of salt in a deep bowl using an electric mixer at medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, beating until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks. Fold in graham cracker crumbs.
- Place a dollop of meringue on each peach half and broil 10-15 seconds longer. Turn off broiler and leave peaches in oven just until tips of meringue are browned, 20-30 seconds (watch very carefully).
- *Note that the egg in this recipe is not fully cooked.
