Peach Basil Grilled Cheese Recipes

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED PEACHES WITH BURRATA AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut peaches in half and remove peach stones. Cut each half in half again.
• Wrap prosciutto around each peach section; secure with small bamboo skewers.
• Grill peaches, turning often, until prosciutto gets a little crisp around the edges and the peaches begin to caramelize, about 6 minutes.
• To serve, spoon burrata onto serving plates. Remove peaches from skewers; place several of the grilled peaches around the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper; garnish with basil.

HONEY, PEACH & BASIL TWO-CHEESE GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Place a griddle, cast iron skillet or sauté pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
• Place bread in toaster and toast until lightly golden, then spread butter on one side of each piece of bread.
• Placing the buttered side of one slice of bread on a plate, paper towel, or cutting board, start assembling the sandwich. Layer on the mozzarella, sliced peach, basil and bleu cheese (in that order.) Drizzle honey over top of the bleu cheese and then place the other piece of bread on top of the stack, with the buttered side facing up.
• Place sandwich on preheated griddle, cast iron skillet or sauté pan and cook for about three minutes, or until bread is golden-brown. Flip over and cook an additional few minutes, letting the second piece of toast brown just like the first piece. You may want to press the sandwich with a spatula every once in a while to make sure all of the cheese melts.
• Remove from heat and cut sandwich in half. Serve immediately.

GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the white sugar, balsamic vinegar, and pepper. Simmer until liquid has reduced by one half. It should become slightly thicker. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place peaches on the prepared grill, cut side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the flesh is caramelized. Turn peaches over. Brush the top sides with the balsamic glaze, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the peach halves to individual serving dishes, and drizzle with remaining glaze. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese.
