What Is A Peach Melba?
A peach melba is a dessert that is a combination of peaches, raspberry sauce, and ice cream. It dates back to the 1890’s and the Savory Hotel in London. The French chef named Auguste Escoffier created it in honor of the Australian singer named Nellie Melba.
How To Make A Bloomin’ Peach Melba
Step One: Bloomin’ Shape
Start by cut a ripe peach in half around the pit and then twist the two halves and separate them. Remove the pit.
Next, cut a circle in the flesh, around the hole where the pit was.
Then, turn the peach half over and use a sharp knife to make small cuts around the peach, leaving the center intact.
Step Two: Baked Peaches
Once you are done making the cuts, put each sliced peach into its own small baking dish.
Add a little butter to the center and sprinkle the peaches with cinnamon and sugar.
Put the baking dishes in the oven and cook until the peaches are hot and tender. It only takes about 15-20 minutes.
Baked peaches are delicious when served warm! Don’t forget to add a scoop of ice cream and drizzle raspberry sauce over it all.
