This recipe is a simple and delightful dessert that features the sweetness of grilled peaches, the tanginess of goat cheese, and a drizzle of honey for a perfect summer treat.
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill for medium-high heat with no flame. Alternatively, preheat a grill pan on your stovetop over medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Peaches: Wash and dry the peaches. Cut each peach in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with melted butter.
- Grill the Peaches: Place the peach halves, cut side down, on the preheated grill or grill pan. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened.
- Assemble the Dessert: Transfer the grilled peaches to a serving plate, cut side up.
- Top with Goat Cheese: Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top of each peach half.
- Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle each peach half with honey.
- Garnish (Optional): Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch (optional).
Tips:
- If your peaches are not very ripe, you can grill them for an additional minute or two per side.
- For a richer flavor, use flavored goat cheese, such as honey goat cheese or fig goat cheese.
- You can substitute other toppings for the goat cheese, such as crumbled blue cheese, mascarpone cheese, or ricotta cheese.
- If you don’t have honey, you could drizzle the peaches with maple syrup, agave nectar, or balsamic glaze.
- Serve this dessert warm or at room temperature. It also pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
