Ingredients
  

  • Olive oil spray
  • 2 pieces 2 ripe peaches pitted, peeled, and diced
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese I like Good Culture
  • 2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons chopped shelled pistachios
  • Drizzle of honey optional

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Peeler
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by heating a small skillet over medium heat. Once it’s nice and warm, give it a light spray with your olive oil. This ensures the peaches won’t stick while they cook.
  2. Next, add the diced peaches to the skillet, followed by the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix everything together, allowing the peaches to soak up those sweet flavors.
  3. Leave the mixture undisturbed for about one minute. This allows the peaches to begin caramelizing just a bit.
  4. After a minute, gently stir the peaches again and let them cook for an additional minute. You want them to soften and become aromatic.
  5. Once the peaches are ready, transfer them to a bowl or plate. Allow them to cool for about five minutes, letting their sweet juices settle.
  6. Now, it’s time to scoop the cottage cheese. Take one cup of cottage cheese and divide it evenly between two bowls, creating a creamy base.
  7. Top each bowl with half of the sautéed peaches. Make sure to drizzle some of that delicious juice over the cottage cheese for extra flavor.
  8. Finally, sprinkle one tablespoon of the chopped pistachios on each bowl. This adds that perfect crunch!
  9. If desired, finish with a light drizzle of honey over the top. This is optional but highly recommended for a touch of sweetness.
  10. Enjoy your Peach Pie Cottage Cheese Bowls while fresh, relishing in the delightful combination of flavors and textures!

Notes

  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store the peaches and cottage cheese separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to two days.
  • Freezing: While it’s not recommended to freeze the assembled bowls, you can freeze sautéed peaches in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
  • Pairing: Try serving these bowls with a side of whole-grain toast or a fruit smoothie for a well-rounded breakfast.
  • Variations: Feel free to swap the peaches for other fruits like berries or apples for a different twist!
  • Add spices: Experiment with other spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique flavor profile.
  • Healthy sweeteners: If you prefer, you can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different flavor.
