Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F, with rack in upper third. Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet or sauté pan over medium heat until foaming. Reduce heat to low; add sugar, stirring until it has dissolved. Add peaches, cut side down, and cook until they start to caramelize, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and drizzle with honey.

    Step 2

    Raise heat to medium-high. Bring pan juices to a boil. Remove from heat.

    Step 3

    Divide nougat pieces among peaches, arranging them in the center of each half. Spoon pan juices over the tops.

    Step 4

    Roast in oven until nougat melts and peaches turn golden brown and are tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
