Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Tongs
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ripe but firm peaches halved and pits removed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Optional Garnishes

  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios or almonds optional
  • fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Select peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure. Cut each peach in half along the natural seam, and gently twist to separate halves. Remove the pit with a spoon or your fingers.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F-400°F). Clean the grates thoroughly and oil them lightly to prevent sticking.
  • Brush the cut sides of the peaches with melted butter. For an extra flavor dimension, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the buttered surface.
  • Place the peaches cut-side down on the preheated grill. Allow them to grill for about 3-4 minutes, until grill marks develop and the natural sugars caramelize.
  • Flip gently using tongs and grill for another 2-3 minutes until the skin side is lightly marked and the peaches are tender but still hold their shape.
  • While the peaches grill, mix the Greek yogurt or mascarpone with 1 tablespoon honey and the vanilla extract in a small bowl.
  • Transfer the grilled peaches to serving plates, placing them cut-side up. Top each peach half with a generous dollop of the yogurt mixture.
  • Drizzle with additional honey, sprinkle with chopped nuts if using, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately while still warm.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter and coconut yogurt for Greek yogurt.
Maple syrup or agave nectar work beautifully in place of honey.
Yellow nectarines can replace peaches if desired, offering a similar flavor profile without the fuzzy skin.
Adding a drop of vanilla to your melted butter creates an aromatic complexity that complements the natural peach flavor wonderfully.
