How to Make Pistachio Stuffed Nectarines

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter with 4 tablespoons granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg yolk and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau), 1/2 cup shelled pistachios (finely chopped), and 1/2 cup crumbled sponge cake.
  5. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
  6. Halve 6 ripe nectarines and gently remove the pits.
  7. Arrange the nectarine halves, cut-side up, in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Spoon the pistachio filling generously into the cavity of each nectarine half.
  9. Drizzle 1/4 cup white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc) over and around the nectarines.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the nectarines.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the nectarines are tender and the filling is golden brown.
  12. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of crème anglaise or crème fraîche.
