🧑🍳 Ingredients
Grilled Peaches – The sweetness of the fresh peaches work so well with the earthy flavors from the grill. These could not be any easier to make and are extremely fun for a sweet dessert.
Roasted Pecans – The grill will toast these nuts to bring out a huge flavor profile. The key is to keep stirring them as you toast them on the grill.
🔥 Grilling Instructions
Step One: Mix one cup of pecans with two tablespoons of melted butter and place in a small cast iron pan. If you don’t have a cast iron, you could easily use a disposable pan you get at the dollar store.
Step Two: Bring the grill to 350 degrees and placed the cast iron skillet in the center.
Step Three: Stir the pecans every two minutes to prevent them from burning and remove them after about 10 minutes. Set them aside to cool.
Step Four: Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit.
Step Five: Brush olive oil on the cut face of the peach to prevent sticking. Place them, cut side down, on the grill and set the timer for four minutes.
Step Six: Turn the peaches over and cook for another four minutes. It is time to remove them and let them cool.
🍽️ Assembly
Step One: Mix the honey and goat cheese together.
Step Two: Scoop a little bit of the mixture and put in the middle of the peach. Top it off with the roasted pecans. Serve!
