Grilled Peaches ~ Easy Appetizer Recipe

Grilled peaches are sweet and juicy and pick up a hint of smoky flavor from charing them on the grill. The flavor combination of the charred peaches, basil and honey are the perfect compliment to cream cheese. 

Ingredients Needed:

• Peaches or Nectarines
• Cream Cheese
• Honey
• Fresh Basil or Thyme
• Toasted whole grain bread, baguette or Crackers for Serving

How to Make Grilled Peaches with Basil and Honey:

• Wash peaches and dry. Cut peaches in half and remove pit.
• Grill both sides for about 3 to 5 minutes each, just until fruit is charred and starts to soften.

• Remove from grill and allow to cool. If you are making ahead,  cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Cut grilled peaches into bite- sized chunks.
• Roll basil leaves together and slice thinly.

• Place softened cream cheese on a serving plate, top with peaches.
• Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with fresh basil.
• Serve with toasted bread or crackers.

This appetizer is best when served fresh. Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated but the fresh basil doesn’t refrigerate well and will darken.
