24 Jul From Our Table to Yours: A Summer Morning Worth Savoring
There’s something special about mornings in Beaufort at Inn on Turner. The air is salty, the sunlight pours in gently, and time seems to slow—just enough to savor. At Inn on Turner, we believe breakfast is more than the first meal of the day. It’s an invitation to pause, connect, and indulge by slowing life down
Each plate we serve reflects the season, our farmers and summertime, that means one thing: North Carolina Peaches!
🍑 Peaches ’n Cream Belgian Waffles
When North Carolina peaches are in their prime, we let them shine. Whether you’re here at the inn or recreating a little slice of your stay at home, this dish is summer on a plate—golden buttery waffles topped with warm, bourbon-spiced peaches, toasted pecans, and a sweet whipped cream cheese dollop that melts right into every bite.
You can dress this dish up or down. Use your favorite homemade waffle recipe—or hit the easy button with a trusty frozen waffle (no shame here!). The real magic is in the fruit topping.
