Rarely do the fresh summer market peaches last from Saturday to Saturday, as they make the best between meal and midnight snacks. Suffering from that all-American syndrome of being unable to delay gratification, I eat best to worst, instead of the other way around, which is I why I found myself with these two leftover peaches with a few bumps and bruises.
I had been saving this recipe for awhile. The problem is I do not have an outdoor grill. I've grilled corn and other vegetables on my grill pan so decided to try this again. It does not leave the perfect grill marks and tends to smoke up the kitchen but it does a reasonably good job for a small apartment kitchen. Blogging idea: Kitchen Bloopers (and I've had a few).
I did not find this recipe to taste as good as it sounded on paper, although it was a nice change to have the sweet warm peaches topped with the feta for that extra bite.
Substitutions:
1) Use blue cheese instead of feta grilled peaches
2) Transfer grilled peach to dish, flat side up, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and a touch of honey, depending on sweetness
Balsamic-Honey Grilled Peaches With Feta Cheese
Recipe, Food.com
Yield: 4 servings (1 half = serving)
Ingredients:
2 peaches
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Directions:
1. Halve peaches and remove pit.
2. Mix honey and balsamic together well.
3. Place peaches cut side down on heated grill.
4. Grill until starting to turn tender and nice grill marks appears.
5. Turn over and brush top liberally with honey-balsamic glaze.
6. Continue grilling until peaches are tender. Brush with more glaze, if desired.
7. Immediately add crumbled feta to center of peaches.
8. Serve warm.
Notes: This recipe did not provide time or heat. You will be able to visually determine how much time the peaches need; however, the temperature is different. I would suggest a medium to medium hot grill.

I've seen grilled peaches, but never tried them myself. Might be time. I'm freezing peaches today, have my first of 2 trees hanging heavy with sweet ripe beauties...
ReplyDeleteAkannie - Between you and me, I'd just soon have a fresh peach:) These were pretty good, although not something I would prepare often. Sounds like you have a garden paradise!
