Grilled Peaches and Feta with Honey
A wonderful dessert option that doesn’t require you to make a crust, this can be done on an outdoor grill if you have one available, or indoors on a cast-iron grill pan. Substitute other stone fruits if peaches aren’t available–this would be great with nectarines or plums as well. Optional garnishes include toasted hazelnuts or sliced almonds or, heck, a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
4 ounces feta cheese
½ cup raw, local honey
Zest from 1 lemon
Sprigs of mint for garnish
Directions
Prepare your grill using manufacturer’s directions, creating a medium flame for cooking the peaches.
Brush the flesh of the halved peaches with butter or oil and place them cut-side down on the heated grill. Let cook for 5-10 minutes, until they have softened and have nice, distinct grill marks on them, with juices beginning to drip. Transfer the cooked peaches to a heat-proof serving dish.
While the peaches cook, combine the honey and lemon zest in a small saucepan on the stovetop. Warm for 3-5 minutes to thin and infuse the honey, making sure not to boil the mixture. Set aside until ready to use.
Break the feta into ½”-1” cubes and arrange amongst the cooked peaches. Pour the warmed honey over the peaches and feta.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve warm.
