Grilled Peaches

Ingredients
  

  • 4

    Peaches (not too ripe, a little firm), halved and pitted

  • 4 ounces goat cheese
  • honey
  • olive oil
  • Blueberry syrup from Felt Like a Foodie (Click here for link)

  • Optional: Some toasted pecans or granola

Method
 

  1. Have your gas grill set to medium heat and have a spot for indirect heating.  
  2. Brush peach halves with olive oil
  3. Place the peaches CUT SIDE DOWN on grill and cook about 5 minutes.  (Don’t fuss with them.)
  4. Flip over, move to the part of your grill for indirect heating and cook with the lid closed until starting to get tender, about 4 minutes.  
  5. Right before you want to take them off the grill, add a dollop of goat cheese to the center of each peach and drizzle of honey if you desire.  (The spot where the pit was laying is a perfect little hole.)
  6. Shut grill top and cook another minute.
  7. Gently move from grill, top with blueberry syrup and crunchy toppings.


The funny thing about food blogging is that sometimes I have to remember that there are people who just want a recipe….this is one of those blogs….so I heard people and put the recipe first…this time. (Plus I learned how to learn a new little application that will hopefully allow you to just print the recipe.)

I was grilling last week on one of the most beautiful days that we’ve had this summer.  I was pulling anything I could out of the refrigerator and putting it on the grill.  I wanted every excuse to stay outside absorbing the sun.

I tossed on the peaches as a fluke.  I’ve made grilled peaches in the past and they were good. 

I prepared them as stated in the above recipe and posted the pictures to social media.  I got a ton of feedback so I knew that even if I don’t have a good story to share…I had to get this recipe up before my seasonal ingredients were no longer seasonal.

So here you go…have a go at them…be creative…and have a peachy day.
