Ingredients:

  • 4 medium firm-ripe peaches (approx. 2 lbs / 900g), halved and pitted
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 3 tbsp clover or wildflower honey
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup Mascarpone or Ricotta cheese
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • 2 tbsp crushed pistachios or toasted almonds

Instructions:

  1. Brush the cut side of each peach half generously with the melted butter and neutral oil to prevent sticking and encourage a golden-brown sear.
  2. Place peaches cut-side down on a medium-high grill (about 400°F / 200°C). Close the lid and sear for 4–6 minutes without moving them until deep brown grill marks appear.
  3. Whisk the honey, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a small bowl. During the last 60 seconds of grilling, lift the peaches and lightly brush the honey mixture over the charred surface.
  4. Remove peaches from heat. Place on a plate and top each half with a dollop of Mascarpone or Ricotta. Drizzle remaining honey over the cheese and garnish with crushed nuts and mint.
