For a quick and simple dessert try my Baked Peach Egg Custard.
Whenever I get sick I don’t have much of an appetite but I can always convince myself to have dessert. Since I woke up with an upper respiratory infection and laryngitis, food has been the last thing on my mind. This warm baked egg custard certainly made me feel a little bit better.
Although peach season doesn’t start until July here in NJ, I couldn’t pass up on the big crate of beautiful peaches at Whole Foods on my last trip. Originally I thought of making a peach cobbler but that required too much work. Instead this peach custard was born. There is some serious goodness in this custard. The eggs puff up around fresh peaches and you get a light yet slightly sweet texture.
Personally I like serving this dessert hot with cold ice cream on top. You can also bake it in ramekins for an individual treat. These will be awesome served at a party and make a fabulous summer treat.

This looks amazing, Kathy! I love that there aren’t too many ingredients, so I think I can totally handle making this! Peaches are one of my favorite fruits!

Sorry you’re sick friend. Being sick in the summer time is the worst! I’m the same way and can always must up an appetite for desserts when I’m not feeling well. This peach custard sounds amazing! And I’m super excited because I just got a little 5″ cast iron skillet at a garage sale for just $3! Will definitely be making this to break it in : )

Thanks Denise. You’ll like the peaches this way, so good. 🙂
Gorgeous!! I just love this over a cobbler. And I’m with you, peaches aren’t at their prime here in kc until later in the season, but they’re too hard to resist!
You’re right Nicole, peaches are so hard to resist. 🙂
Oh, no I hope you feel better quick. I never have much of an appetite when I am sick, but a tasty dessert like this would surly wake up my appetite. Looks delicious! Pinning

I’m sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, Kathy, but this baked peach custard definitely sounds like it would help make anything better! I love how simple yet delicious it sounds — I’ve never made a dessert like this. Peaches are great here in CA, so I need to put this at the top of the last. Pinning! 🙂
