Peaches and Mint with a Creamy Lemon Goat Cheese Sauce
Whether as a side for brunch or a creative dessert, these peaches are brought to life with the tangy lemon and goat cheese!
KISS-keep it simple. A peach is so wonderful on its own, it is hard to even create recipes using them! Because of their brilliant flavor, I try to use subtle enhancements to bring out some undertones to further emphasize flavors. In this sauce, I use lemon juice to balance acidity, and goat cheese to give some tang, resulting in a perfect combination!
Oh so sweet! While sugar isn’t really needed, a little bit of a dessert type flavor is always appreciated. Three ingredients create that delicious combination that makes this a perfect dish for dessert or sweet brunch-pecans for a sweeter nut, mint for that fabulous herb so traditionally used for baking, and, well, sweetener! To keep my sugar count a bit lower I use a monk fruit, but no matter what your sugar version is, the natural sweet of the peach will carry this dish!
