Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8–12 thin slices prosciutto (about 1 slice per peach half or wedge)
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, burrata, or goat cheese (optional but recommended)
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduced balsamic vinegar
  • Handful of fresh basil or mint leaves, torn
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for a bright finish)

Method
 

  1. Heat the grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and oil the grates so the peaches don’t stick.
  2. Prep the peaches: Cut peaches into halves or thick wedges. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Grill quickly: Place peaches cut side down. Grill 2–3 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly. Flip for 30–60 seconds if you like a bit more warmth.
  4. Cool a touch: Transfer peaches to a plate and let them cool for 1–2 minutes so the prosciutto doesn’t melt away.
  5. Add cheese: Spoon a small amount of mozzarella, burrata, or goat cheese onto each peach piece. Keep it modest so it’s easy to eat in one or two bites.
  6. Wrap with prosciutto: Drape or wrap a slice of prosciutto around each peach piece. It should hold the cheese in place.
  7. Finish with flavor: Drizzle with balsamic glaze, add torn basil or mint, crack black pepper over the top, and sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky salt if needed.
  8. Serve: Arrange on a platter and serve warm or at room temperature with lemon wedges on the side.
