Plums are summer’s all-stars. You should eat and cook with them only when they are peaking, plentiful, and widely available in many varieties.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 plums, pitted, halved
8 ounces fresh goat cheese
Preparation
Step 1
Heat a medium skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Add butter and swirl to coat skillet. Arrange plums, cut side down, in skillet and cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until cut sides are nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Place, cut side up, on a platter and let cool slightly.
Step 2
Crumble cheese around plums; season everything generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil.
