This baked peaches and cream recipe is the best reason to turn on your oven this summer. We’ve revamped the simple, sometimes-decadent dessert by swapping out fat-laden whipped cream for a honey-mint Greek yogurt topping. You can serve this as the finale to your next summer soirée or even whip it up for a sweet brunch side dish. When picking out peaches, make sure that they’re just turning ripe and are freestone peaches so you can easily remove the pit without making a mess. Garnish with mint and enjoy!
