MAKES 4 SERVINGS

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup sugar

4 peaches, halved and pitted

1/4 cup melted butter

4 slices pound cake, sliced 3/4-inch thick

Set gas grill to medium or heat charcoal grill until coals are white.

Combine cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar in a bowl. Brush the flat side of peach halves with melted butter. Place the peaches in the cinnamon mixture and allow to marinate for at least 5 minutes.

Place peaches flat side down on grill. Cover and grill for 5 minutes.

Flip peaches, cover and grill for 5 more minutes. Remove from grill, slice each peach half in quarters and cover to keep warm.

Brush both sides of each pound cake slice with butter. Place on grill. Cover and grill 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip each slice and grill for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until slices are crisp and golden.

Top with grilled peaches and freshly whipped cream, and serve immediately.
